I have been having the same problem with registered mail to the US going missing. It has happened 4 times in the last 6 months.

They go to Germany or the UK and its sometimes from that point that you will find the details on the USPS website as they will continue on the tracking within the US or US territories.

Have to say I send a lot of parcels and letters to the US and rarely have things go missing when they are tracked.
