Did you give a Power of Attorney to the previous owner to procure the duplicate? If not, Motor Vehicle Services had no basis to issue one to them. Regardless, why don't you just request another duplicate title from Motor Vehicle Services? You are the owner so should obviously be entitled to it. Then you will have your title and the prior duplicate (obtained by the prior owner) will become void just as the first one was.
