Next step to locate an owner?

I found a house a few years back while Driving for dollars. It was totally overgrown and appears to be vacant.

I have been trying to get in touch with the owner since i found it.

This is what I have done.

- Mailed either postcards or letters about every quarter for the 1st year then every once in a while. I got most of them back if not all.

- Skip trace with no info found other then the name I already had. No additional address.

- Had the local tax assessor try and get me the name or address of the person paying the taxes. Property taxes are up to date.

- Mailed all the neighbors immediately around the property. No response.

So I am looking for suggestions to further my search. Its an off market property that would possibly make a great flip.

If you have a suggestion I am open to listen.

Thanks
