I doubt if you will find it. It's probably gone for good. However there's a chance that it might return. Are there a lot of droppings inside the house?
I would set traps inside the house where you saw it. (Or where you see the droppings.) Set them along the side of the walls. Rats and mice have relatively poor vision and thus they normally run along walls and other straight objects when possible.
Also when setting a trap, be sure to TIE IT DOWN with something they CAN'T CHEW through. If you catch them by the tail or leg, they will run away, and possibly die (and decay into something smelly) where you can't reach them (like between the walls, inside a furnace duct, etc).
You might want to get rid of the reason for the mice/rats. Start cleaning up the place. Outside, wood piles, junk piles, etc. Inside the house, start cleaning out pantry shelves of old stuff, plactic/paper grocery bags, etc.

Set out Decon for future ones.
Once a mouse leaves - that's it. Just try to fill in holes and prepare for any future ones.

Fill the mouse holes with steel wool.

you can make it your life time goal to track and kill this mouse. You might have to hire a private eye and a hitman.

Find where it came in at and plug the hole. It is also advisable to put traps and/or poisen around whereever there might be others. Usually if see one, there are others you don't see.

It's out of the house. What more do you want? Leave it alone.
