My guess is it was the Babylonians that carried it off between the first temple and second temple eras.
Babylon kept meticulous inventory records of items seized during an invasion. The King wanted it to be done that way to insure the kingdom gained form the military expedition. Missing from the inventory from the invasion and defeat of Israel is the Ark and several other items. In the next temple there is no mention of the Ark being set in it's place within the Holy of Holies. That leads to the speculation that the Ark was hidden before Babylon invaded and was never brought back to it's original position. There is a copper scroll that details the items hidden and their locations throughout Israel. The reason for it's difficulty is the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by the Romans. Many of the landmarks vanished over time. Some items have been discovered and reside with the Government for safe keeping until the third temple is built. Over the years almost all items necessary to bless the new temple have been discovered.

The copper scroll dates to the time of the Great Jewish Revolt against Rome in 66AD. The Essenes were a radical rebel faction which occupied Herod’s old castle at Meggidoh to protect many of the treasures of Herod’s temple from the Roman’s who tore said temple down. They hid caches of treasure all over the desert, but the directions in the copper scroll utilize a lot of landmarks that ain’t dere no mo. When the Romans finally besieged Meggidoh, the Essenes were all killed or committed suicide and the scrolls they hid were not found until modern times.

That would be evidence in favor of Israelites carrying it off prior to the invasions.
I honestly don't have an opinion on whether the Ark exists or not today. I firmly believe that it did exist when the Bible mentioned it, though.
