Help, seller went MIA

I was under contract to buy a house and the title company discovered bunch of liens few days before closing. This would require seller to bring cash to closing. Seller decided its better to let the house forclose than bring cash to closing. Since then, seller ghosted everyone and no longer reachable. Seller's agent can no longer reach the seller to sign mutual relase form to refund my earnest money. My earnest money is now stuck since seller is not available to sign the mutual release form. What are my options to get my earnest money back?
