Regina didn't know there was a real Ursula with the iconic octopus features of the goddess who had claimed her title. Remember, the showrunners referred to the Queen of Darkness Ursula as a character who had been introduced in Season 3. The change from Yvette Nicole Brown to Merrin Dungey is just recasting. It's not a coincidence that both actresses are African-American; that's supposed to be the voice of the living Ursula coming from the statue. Just because she's been missing for 1000 years doesn't mean she's dead. That's what the King and Queen thought about Maleficent in the original Sleeping Beauty tale, thus why she wasn't invited to Aurora's Christening. And we all know what happened there. it's also very hard to kill a diety so i doubt she's actually dead. I agree with Edward Zachary Sunrose missing makes more sense.
