Since his spawn location is random when you are in the map and exploring, the map viewer will not find him. This might shed some light, my son and I were playing together in my medium world. He went down a natural path around lava (not hell but close) he opened a hole on the ground and found him. We were playing with our laptops next to each other. When my son told me about it, I ran to find him. I could not see the bound goblin. Until my son unbound him, I saw it. I could then speak to him and set a home for him while my son guarded him from getting killed. It worked great.

I suggest you get your friend again a look separately and perhaps you will find it.
