In New York, you cannot buy or sell a car without a valid title. I'm assuming that's the same in every state? If it true in every state, then if there was no exchange of title, it can't be true that MB gave them a car as a gift. She'd have had to sign the title over to them. Therefore I think it is accurate to say that the car is stolen property, since MB didn't pay for it, either.
As to EP, if Evelyn is returned safely, he can get a DNA test to prove paternity. I understand he's not on the birth certificate, because Evelyn doesn't have his surname and he and MB aren't married. Since he is active duty and can be deployed, and his father has passed and mother is ill, if he has no other relatives to care for her, then what? I don't know much about the military but is there some kind of compassionate leave that allows someone in his position to resign his military commitment?
All moot until/unless Evelyn is found alive.
