The verb "mis-see"

Hi

While the verbs "misspeak", "misread" exist and are used frequently, I'd like to know if there is any verb with the meaning "missee". For example:

(Please edit this conversation where it's not natural)

A - Why did John leave so early?

B - John? He never turned up.

A- Then who was that guy in the red Jacket?

B- Not John at least. You must have miseen.

Thanks,

Tom

I think you could use "misperceived." While it technically refers to all the senses, it's often taken as referring to visual perception, absent context to the contrary.

Thanks, CJ!

Thanks, Avangi!

Could you please tell me if "see wrongly" or "see incorrectly" are possible? If yes, please give me an example.
