If it did happen that the victim did not appear, the case would probably be 'continued' until the prosecutor and law enforcement had an opprtunity to locate and contact them and/or look into the reason why they failed to appear.

Is it possible to be innocent in state court but guilty in federal court?
Yes it is but technically, even though the actions charged are the same the laws charged have to be different. It has happened that a person has been found innocent of a murder in a state court, but later charged with and found guilty of violating or depriving the victim of his/her civil rights by causing the murder. The action is the same, the murder, but the charges are different. This is actually a very fine distinction and not everyone would agree that this is not a violation of the right against double jeopardy.

Simpson is a recent example.
