Looking for an old video game buddy who lived in Dublin
If you're tech savy, you could try running their Internet handles through a software called Sherlock. It will search different social media platforms. I'm not sure if there is a web alternate tp Sherlock, but using different search engines is also worth a shot (like bing).
