Nothing. Basically, a contempt citation is an order telling the person to come to court and explain what he/she has done or failed to do. Until he/she is served that order, neither you or the court can do anything. You should contact the local sheriff's office to have service attempted; generally, law enforcement personnel have more capability of finding people.
