Fr.
Richard, a priest friend of mine, replied:
Hi, Mike —
I would suggest your questioner call their Tribunal
Office. Basically, the Tribunal Office would require
an all out effort to locate the person by contacting
relatives of the person, etc.
In addition, local legal notices are required to
inquire as to a person's location.
In any case, the Tribunal for her diocese could
give her a more specific answer.

Fr. Jonathan, our priest-helper, who is also a canon lawyer replied:
Hi, Mike —
The Tribunal in the questioner's diocese should
be able to find the people involved. Most of the
time, it's good enough. If needed, the diocese may
use private investigators to find the people involved.
if she is interested in how annulments work, I recommend
she read our Nullity FAQ's:
Declaration
of Nullity FAQ's
Fr. Michael Foster also put together a very good
article titled:
How
Can A Marriage Be Declared Null?
