What if the owner is not reachable ?

I found an iPhone but has activation lock. Any possible way to remove it ? Couldn’t find the owner.

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Without the Apple ID and Password of the original owner, you will never be able to use the device. Activation Lock is a theft prevention feature. Here are links about Activation Lock....
