(a) Cannot be located;

(b) Has been transferred or conveyed to, sold to, or deposited with a third party;

(c) Has been placed beyond the jurisdiction of the court;

(d) Has been substantially diminished in value by any act or omission of a defendant, or a defendant's agent or assignee; or

(e) Has been commingled with other property which cannot be divided without difficulty.

(2) In addition to any other remedy provided for by law, if property subject to forfeiture is conveyed, alienated, disposed of, or otherwise rendered unavailable for forfeiture after the filing of a racketeering lien notice or provision of notice of pending forfeiture or after the filing and notice of a civil proceeding or criminal proceeding alleging forfeiture under this chapter, whichever is earlier, the State or seizing agency, on behalf of the State, may institute an action in circuit court against the person named in the racketeering lien or notice of pending forfeiture or the defendant in the civil proceeding or criminal proceeding, and the court shall enter final judgment against the person named in the racketeering lien or notice of pending forfeiture or the defendant in the civil proceeding or criminal proceeding in an amount equal to the fair market value of the property, together with reasonable investigative expenses and attorney fees.
