1) Can you show us proof of the email which it showed when you tried to recover the account? In addition to this, can you also show us the email you 'typed in'.
2) Seeing as you are the OO, can you simply not just recover the account as hijacked? Whoever's email which is set as the account's main email, will not interfere in the process as they'll literally swap it to the email you want them to when you fill out the recovery form and prove that you're the OO.
This should be an easy task seeing as again you're the OO hence, I'd suggest you try again and just gain access back to the account.
