How do I acquire a domain that's already in use but dormant?
-
I have had an LLC business working from home now for 7 years with a name already being used by a personal WordPress blogger and another version of it being used by another WordPress site with a .com, however both sites have gone dormant over the years. Is there a way to acquire those domain names and use them for my growing business? Neither site includes contact information so I’m a little lost. TIA
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Username accounts are not deleted read https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
You cannot register either a username or site that has already been registered.
Also note that there is no expiration date on any on .wordpress.com blog urls unused, reserved or otherwise. Unless you can reach the over of the site and have them transfer it to you, you have reached a dead ends. Note that in these cases the blog’s owner rarely responds to comments or to contact information. And, Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
