Return of Money Owed f

One year ago I issued a check to an individual M. Vappie as registration for a golfing tournament. The individual failed to put togther the golfing tournament and cashed my check. When trying to contact the individual by phone, email, and personal business location I found that he closed his business, turned phone off, and web site no longer active. His wife still operates a portion of the business from home address however states that they are divorced and she has not idea where he is physically located. Can I sue the wife for monies owed even though she was not involved in the scam however she still operates his business

If the check was written to the individual and the wife was in no way involved, you can only sue the individual. If the business was somehow involved (like maybe the check was deposited to the business), you may be able to sue the business.
