Use of stock image on book cover

My book was published by a now defunct publisher. They returned my records to me (locked, and I could not open any of the documents) and I've since re-published my title under my own name. However, my question is ... can I still use the same cover? The image on my cover is appropriate for the material, but I assume it was a stock image the initial publisher paid a "right to use" fee for. Thanks for your assistance.
