Where the open is! (I know: baaaad! ) I had a similar situation: got called because a friend's aunt's refrigerator wasn't working. Circuit breaker was fine - power coming out (used an analog meter). Tried tracing the conduit from the outlet -- opened up some junction boxes to test voltages -- dead. Kept back-tracing but got sort of lost -- whoever re-wired the house did a really strange job!
Started tracing from the circuit breaker towards the refrigerator outlet -- yup! it's definately a weird way to connect things! Ended up the first junction box after the circuit panel had a failed connection inside: the wire eventually feeding the refrigerator had slipped out of the twist connector (the wires were just shoved in, not twisted). I twisted together, capped, and the refrig has run since!
