How to find out if a home is forclosed on

[Anthony Fecarotta]

So i drove past my childhood home yesterday, that i was devastated when my father sold it after a divorce because it was beautiful and had a lot of sentimental value to me. i always said i would buy it back one day, and yesterday when driving past i realized that the grass was about 2 feet high. so i walk up to the front door and there's a sign saying no trespassing and that they were evicted august of 2018. i looked online to see if this was foreclosed on, but can't find any information. after peaking inside i saw a lot of random stuff just laying around throughout the house, it was a mess, looks like it was ransacked.

This may be a great opportunity to buy it at much less than it's worth. my question is, can anyone give me some advice to find out who the bank is that owns it , or possibly getting in touch with the previous owners?

there's also a chance that maybe they were renting it out and the renters got evicted and they've just kept it vacant since august, but i don't see why anyone would do that.
