Where were they last? Start there

no records in the sheriff database here

You could start by seeing if thay have an actual non-jail address.

Google their name. Among other things you'll be sent to whitepages, 123people and other sites that collect voter registration, phonebooks, drivers licences, etc. They sell some information but give some away. You can usually get a street address and phone number free.
