It has been 15 years since my wife disappeared. I want a divorce but can't find her. How can I replace service? Can I post a statement somewhere public?

You can obtain a court order permitting you to serve her by publication of notice in a newpaper. You are required to perform or have performed a due dilliogence search first.
I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

You can serve her by publication. This requires that you obtain a court order to serve by publication. To get the court order you must make a search for her, contact family members, check dmv records, voter registration etc. Then submit this information to the court in a declaration.
