Absentee Owner,Utilities off since 2013. Ideas on finding owner?

[Antonio Evans]

Good Morning BP Community

I wanted to present this question to the community. I located an abandoned property and was able to then find the owners name through appraisal district website. The owner does not live there of course and the utilities have not been active for 3 yrs.  Taxes were paid on 2 yrs ago. Ive exhausted my research. I have not sent any letters to this address yet. As I move forward in this search, I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas/tips on how they have approached a situation similar to this with positive results. Have a great day everyone and thanks for any advice feedback.

Change your frame of reference.

If the owner was a long-lost relative who has a rare blood type that you desperately need for a transfusion in order to stay alive, you'll get both creative and resourceful.

The tenacious detective will use online skip-tracing techniques and offline methods. Onsite investigation (neighbor who may know your target's whereabouts of their associates, church, social or drinking habits, etc. dan safe you some steps. 

Online skiptracing sources can save you much work. 

Basic stuff like online search and social media sites can make your investigation surprisingly quick sometimes.
