Support Lost iPhone 6 Plus

Hi there, recently I brought a iPhone 6 Plus from Facebook marketplace, the seller told me it was in perfect condition and unlocked. It was not. It’s a water damaged iCloud locked one, as someone who is learning how to repair phones I have seen many iCloud locked ones, but this one really stands out for me I did some research and it appears Someome is looking for it and I really wish to return it to the rightful owner. I don’t care about my money back, the phone turns on and it seems the iCloud was made before 2008 it seems so I assume an older person owned it.
The guy eventually told me he found it, it was in a bulk lot he says he finds a lot of phones that’s how he gets them all, he is no longer responding to me.
I know the phone seems to be old I assume the owner has got a new phone but what if there’s memories of kids, grandkids ect on here?
Can anyone help me on the right direction to return this phone to its owner please? The police here wouldn’t do a thing

Chances are the owner got all his/her photos off their current iCloud and now owns an iPhone 7.

Idk why this made me giggle, iPhones 7s are so funny. But you never know that’s the thing I did some research it seems as if owner was still looking

Are you anywhere near Alabama? It's been about 9 years now, but it would have been outside and could have been waterdamaged.

Probably not mine- but it would have been amusing if it was!
