fastest way evict someone who abandoned rental but has junk in it

I have a unique nightmare she was told she will have to move of I don't get rent, she begged me to wait till aid agencies helped her, then I started getting aid workers from private agencies calling me, showing up to help her, this dragged on for 45 days and every time I questioned her about it, she had more help. Come to find out she lied to them all and played with them tried to defraud them and they all fled her. 

I found out she has not had electricity in 3 months, has the gas turned off, and winter is coming at us fast here in Northern Michigan. The only Landlord tenant lawyers near us want $300 minimum to say hello and hint at hours and hours to work through this.

Since she has not been in that Unit in over 3 months and lives with her boyfriend now full time, what is my recourse to get her officially evicted.
In talking to the court Landlord tenant office they said if I have "reason knowledge" that she has not been there in 3 months or even less i can take possession if she has no person items there. That advice all be it not legal sounds shaky.

Does anyone know how I can get possession without exposing myself legally?

HELP!!!!

Listen to what the court Landlord tenant office has said.  Go into the unit, check to see if she has left anything behind.

It would appear since power and gas is off, the unit has been abandoned.

If you still remain hinky about all of this, you can go through the motions of filing just to "cover all bases".
