That would be up to the police. Have you tried contacting the person you purchased it from to find out why it was reported either lost or stolen? Are you sure they gave you their correct contact info?
Unfortunately the issue may not be whether you purchased it legitimately, it's whether the seller was the actual owner. Even if the seller was the legitimate owner there's nothing preventing them from reporting it as stolen after the sale. They may do that to make a fraudulent insurance claim.
That's the risk of buying phones privately instead of through a retailer.
