Default Lost a title after purchase and owners now dead

I purchased a car from a co-workers father (97 chry LHS) back around april i think. Anyways i lost the title of the vehicle after a crazy ex was moving out of the house shortly after. My co-workers father had passed away and i didn't want to bother her with anything for a few weeks. When i did confront her about the possibility of getting another title for me so i could register the vehical she got a little upset and basicaly told me i was on my own. I made several attemps over a few months to get her to at least put somthing down in writing if she wasn't going to help me at all but she all but told me to **** off. So since then i have been to the dmw a few times and even called the department of revenue, but no one has really helped me with info on what i need to get this damn thing titled.

If anyone could give me options on how to get this vehicle titled i would love to know. I plan on doing another round of calling the DMV and D.O.R. again maybe i'll get a helpful person one of these times....

oh additional details, no bill of sale either and i paid the co-worker in cash when she brought the vehicle to work $1,000. there was multiple witness of the sale at least if i ever needed that in writing. and no comments about the obvious mistakes i made in not paying by check and getting a written bill of sale i need constructive criticism
