Missing person property

Evening !

So I have a weird situation and would like some feedback in regards to it. So I was looking for some properties this evening and I found a potential. I research the property and find that the owner has not paid taxes since 2013ish and the property is now in the state of being foreclosed due to that. I then began to look for the owner to do a cold call and also send a mailer. As I'm looking for him his name pops up in WebSleuth as a missing person since 2018. I see he has relatives, should I reach out to them or should I leave it alone? I drove by the house and it is really, really run down.

At this point would it even be possible to get the home, since he might not have a power of attorney seeing as he is missing?

Thoughts, ideas?
