That much would not have evaporated, either there's a leak, or it was stolen.

Re: where my fuel go!
Bad fuel pump filled my original engine with gas two owners ago. Last owner bought it barely running, went to change the oil and it was full of gas. Then he discovered the rings were wiped out and resold it.
Dont run the engine until you've checked the oil. Should be simple enough. And if you use a clean pan you can save the oil if its not bad and not full of gas.
