Buying a house off district attorney

[Greg Behan]

Hi all,

     I found an oddball house while driving around the other day.  It's a great neighborhood and I was lucky enough to run into a very helpful neighbor.  Short history of the house is the original owner left it to her son he was in and out of jail and during that time there was some foreclosure process and the district attorney ended up with possession of the house.  Has anyone ran into this before?  I called the courthouse twice so far and they just put me into the detectives voicemail and no one calls me back.  Anyone have another strategy to find out how I could get a jump on making an offer on this house?
