More details to this question:
I don't have the person's address, just phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Not even sure if the person is in the US. i want the money back that I loaned the person. The person has used operatives to prey on women to get them to send money. If i get a subpeona, I don't have an adresss to send it to. Can the police try and locate the person so subpeona can be served?

I am not exactly certain what occurred from your posting. The Illinois Attorney General has a consumer fraud division. That office may be of help to you to pursue the offender.
This posting should not be considered legal advice nor the establishment of an attorney-client relationship.
