There will be legal steps that you MUST satisfy before that can happen. Each state will have different requirements but the bottom line is that you must make an intensive search, using ALL possible resources to document that fact that you have made a valid effort.
You cannot sell another person's interest in real estate. Your only options lie in having the title transferred to you legally. Title can be transferred by deed, by death through probate or via a survivorship deed, or by a court decree. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your jurisdiction. Your attorney can review your situation and explain your options under your state laws. It is likely that you will need to file a court action such as a quiet title action in order to vest title in you as the sole owner.
If the co-owner has been missing for years there may be a presumption of death. Generally, that could be established by probating the person's estate. In that case the person's interest in the real estate would pass to the surviving joint tenant automatically or to her heirs if the property was owned as a tenant in common. You need to consult with an attorney as soon as possible since action to clear the title may be time consuming.

Where can I obtain insurance information on a vehicle that has hit me when the owner is refuseing to give it?
The Police should have come to the scene of the accident. A Police report would be filled out and filed which would contain that information. If you didn't contact the Police and no report was filed, the only option you have is a lawsuit. Good luck.
A car hits the rear of your car and runs but the owner of the vehicle calls the police and says a friend was driving his car and got hit and the person ran the owner says his insurance will not pay?
Hopefully a police report was filed at the scene of the accident where you were allegedly hit. (?) Ask to see the owners police report of the accident where they claim you hit them. Always have a police report when any accident occurs - even if the car got a tiny itty bitty ding. An accident is an accident, and to protect your rights, you need to call the police and have that police report filed. If none of that exists, then it becomes your word against another persons and can only be solved in a courtroom. In normal situations, the vehicles owner is held liable for the actions of anyone who drives their car.

I found an expensive watch. Should I turn it in to police?
The watch belongs to someone who presumably earned the money to buy it. If they filed a report with the police department, it can be returned to its owner. Some police agencies hold found property like this for a set period, and if it goes unclaimed, it can be returned to the person who found it. If that happened, you would own it lawfully. If you decide to keep it and not give it to the police, you may be in possession of stolen property and liable to criminal charges.
