This topic has come up a few times before -- I have been driving past a

a city government office that could tell me who holds the deed to the
house? I think it must have been a foreclosure or bankruptcy or
something
since I the house hasn't been for sale...

Any ideas?

Depends on where it is. If you know the address, both Wake and Chatham
counties have online property listings. I suspect Durham and Orange do
also. That should show the owner of record and said person's mailing
address for tax purposes.

I suspect that if a bank owns it via foreclosure, they will not be
inclined to let you on the property due to liability issues.
