This is probably a bad example... surely, I won't be able to give details, but I think there is some consensus here that if you did everything you could to contact a person and possible relatives, etc, but this person is just no longer available, some legal framework kicks in to overcome this problem... I'm pretty sure it works something like that with copyright on books too... not?
