Renew expired domain when you don't know the host...?

Hey, I have a family member who has a small business and a website for his brick and mortar. He is a web retard so he hired a guy to do is website for him years ago. The guy has disappeared but the sites been up and running for awhile with no issues... I just went to check it out for him to give him an offer on how I could redo it for him much nicer and the site was down. I check his domain registry and it expired on 6-14-11 so its I guess in the process of transfering ownership back... he has no idea where its hosted or where he got domain from so I can't figure out how to get in and try to renew it before its assigned back.

The only thing I can find is yahoo domains is listed as the tech contact on the whois...

Any suggestions how to snatch it up for him so I can get his site live and save him from the possibility someone else may steal his domain?
