Default is there anyway i could find out the first owner?

apparently the first owner returned it to the dealer (it was a corporate lease) and the dealer reflashed my ecu and when i got the car (im the third owner) the flashed was gone. so i called apr and they said that they need the name of the previous owner. it doesnt show in carfax

That sucks. I found the orignal owner of my car, based on serivce papers left in the car. I even got a window sticker.

Before I purchased my car from the dealer I requested a carfax report.
On the report was the previous owners (2), their names and addresses.
I believe it was somewhere around the part of vehicle registrations.
