Well you could try hunting them down on Facebook. Or try contacting the soon to be ex in-laws. If you know the some one's social security number check it to see if they died by seeing if that number is in the social security death index. It's online.
Under the law you have to try to serve him but when that fails you can petition the court to serve someone by publication. The trick is knowing what publication so you need to know that some one's city and state. Other wise you might have to publish a national add in USA Today. Which probably isn't cheap.
