Tenants skipped--tracking them down

I had a SFR in Michigan that I rented to two guys in their early twenties. Paid first month in advance, could not contact them when month two came up. I filed for eviction, but still need to track them down to get the money they still owe. They might be living with their parents again.

Any suggestions on resources I could use to find them? It's not worth spending too much money searching for them, but I want to make an effort. Small claims court so litigation costs will be minimal.

Young people in their twenties can be remarkably stupid about things they post publicly without filters on social media. Check Facebook/Twitter/Instagram!
