What to do about a hit and run and an uncooperative owner?
Our truck as involved in a hit and run,. The police located the car and who is insured but the owner of the car refuses to say who was driving, therefore her insurance won’t pay our damages. And now the insurance company and police are stating that all certified letters are being returned. What do we do now? Can we have the owner of the car’s license suspended?

You should make sure you get a police report and get your insurance company involved. They should be doing the negotiations with the at-fault driver's insurance company. Since the owner of the vehicle is refusing to say who was driving, the presumption is that the owner of the vehicle was driving.
