the hijacked portion of overrunning 1B and missing the base...

Personally, if there's a potential appeal, I'll let it play out and not call "time."

Rules Supplement #1, section L. Missing First Base Before the Throw Arrives: When a runner passes first base before the throw arrives, they are considered to have touched the base unless properly appealed. On appeals involving the double base, when the batter-runner touches the white rather than the contrasting colored portion and a play is made, the same procedure applies. When an appeal is made in both situations, it must be made prior to the runner returning to first base while the ball is live. (emphasis mine)

Thank you for pointing out the situation where a dead ball appeal is available, but the OP implied the "usual" play of the B/R missing first and returning.

As you can see, beer related hijacks are almost always appropriate!
