Jferrari,

If all else fails, go back to the house and ask all the neighbors if they know how to contact the owner. Actually, that should be the first step. :)

One thing I've done in situations like this is to put up a hand written bandit sign in the yard stating "Investor will pay $500 for any information that leads to me purchasing this house. Call XXX-XXXX if you have any info." I've done it several times and it acually worked once. The caller didn't live in the area (I talked to everyone on the street and no one knew how to contact the owner) but was supposed to check on the house every week or so for the out of town owner. She called me and gave me the owner's info, I got the house, and she got paid.
