Yes, but most cannot afford an investigator.
DMV though can still refuse to release information.
This is why I no longer handle "lost title" type situations.
The last time I had to handle one, they did give me the name, and that is all they could give me. Doing a Google search wasn't an option, thankfully the guy was one of the first in the phone book (of a list of people with the same name).
You... got... lucky.
I can't even get a history of my own vehicle without paying more than it is worth up front, and they cannot guarantee a complete history (and I bought it off the original owner's widow... what I wanted was a plate history since it had newer plates on it).
