Then the connection failure previously noted is most likely.

But where? All the outlets have only 1 set of wires. Junctions are in the
ceiling and I can't trace back to the originating box as they are buried in
the ceilings. I need to locate some sort of tracer that is battery powered
and affordable. The cheapest I found is almost $300.

Lowe's has "Fox and Hound" type tracers for about 40 bucks.

I checked there and all I found was tracers for energized circuits. The
nice thing about the $300 set is that the reader portion has a 13' range.
Nice for tracing through walls. I also assume adjustable sensitivity to
determine exactly which breaker it is on.
