You become your own private detective. You go in person to talk to the people where they work(ed), where they shopped, where they drank, where they bought gas or got repairs, where their kids went to daycare. You visit their friends, call their former landlord, their emergency contact from the lease. You phone everybody with the same last name, hoping to find family. You google and yahoo search their name, in every variation and misspelling you can think of. Maybe you pay one of those online services to find out more. (No experience there.)
It may come to nothing, but except for the last part, all it takes is your time and a little gas money.

You might be able to find them using a basic credit check. If they are trying to rent somewhere else it could show up. Check the laws in your state also, you might be able to get the cops/courts to do your work for you by putting a judgment against them for the money.
But if you seriously want your $$ back - hire the detective.

Here is a small business idea to help yourself and other landlords in the same situation a do not rent to this person website because (state reasons etc) Get all landlords to pay a small fee to place peoples names, reason not to, and then they have free access. (If it succeeds I do get a cut right?)

You can go to www.ussearch.com and make a wide variety of searches, froma basic public records searches for $39.95, to all kinds of more detailed back ground searches. Their most expensive search is about $295 which includes a wide range of eletronic data base searches plus individual (in person) records searches.
