Help please!

I have a vacant property with a deceased owner. My problem is that the co-owner, spouse, is on the deed too, and I cannot locate her. The property has been vacant for awhile, and any searches I do brings me back to the damaged/vacant property and no additional info. Any suggestions ????  

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Mike

@Mike Haworth

In situations like this, I also skip-trace the residents on either side of the target property.

Those close neighbors can be a goldmine of info on resident history, any recent comings and goings, and last known contact info. 

Plus, they want someone to fix up the vacant eyesore next door as badly as you want to buy it!
