    Random thought just popped into my head for no reason I can think of: if you know someone’s name, and the county they own property in, you can visit their county records (many even have publicly accessible websites) and find the exact plots of land tied to their name!

    I managed to track down the former property owner of the place I live now to their new house in another state, since they intentionally hid a bunch of issues from the buyer before the sale that ended up costing nearly half the price of the house and the realtors decided to ignore me when I attempted to get in contact.

    All I did was look up “[County I knew remembered they were moving to from overheard conversations during the buying process] county property records” and the rest was super straightforward.

      Well there are public records of him having a property loan somewhere, but I don’t know if it’s in the same state, there’s history of him living near El Paso, TX at least a decade ago, so this is going to be a while before that can be deduced. Good idea though, I commend you for efforts to uphold the rule of law!
