How do you find tenants that moved to take them to court?

I had a family in a beautifully furnished home (it had been a vaation rental).  In 16 months, they trashed it. Althought he is on disability, she has a super job as a nursung supervisor.  They bought a house I believe within 40 miles, as she is at the same job. But I dont really know where it is or where she works exactly.

>>>>> I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY MOVED and they of course won't tell me. I tried sending a "return letter requested" but nothing.  Without an address, I cannot have court documents sent to them...   <<<<

I have their cellphone numbers, but that wont exactly be in the phone books.

He wouldnt let me in to show the place a week before they moves "there are moving boxes everywhere!"  When I got in I was mortified.  Beds stolen, all drawers gone from antique set, my personal stuff taken out of a basement ( he requested access to laundry room).  Upholstery and carpeting stained and slashed by their (illegal) cats.  Most walls were damaged,  Etc. Etc.

It will take 2 months to get access to contractors to repair and replace everything (hard to get contractors these days).  I am likely out some $30,000.  Insurance company seriously lowballing me. Nothing for cleaning, "adjusted" rates. "How do we know it was THEM who stole XYZ" "Do you have a list of what was taken?  DO YOU KNOW EVERYTHING IN YOUR BASEMENT AFTER 20 YEARS??? Carpets and furniture were USED.  Yea, but old house, I had to get furniture through the WINDOWS on 2nd and 3rd floor (stairways very narrow).
