Missing iPad without Find My located

Some clarification may be beneficial as to what can - and can not - be achieved with available tools.

Start here:

Locate a device in Find My on iPad - Apple Support

Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support

Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support

If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it. 

However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost. There are no other native technical methods by which to locate a missing iPad.

Tracking a Lost iPad without Find My:

If you had a third-party app installed, such as LoJack, then you would be able to track it, as long as it has an IP address and is connected to the Internet. See here: LoJack on the App Store
