Nothing so far makes this likely but any chance there is some kind of
Virtual Machine setup in place where all the changes from a given day are
being lost because the VM is resetting back to "factory defaults"?

Also, you say you perform daily pg_dumps. Have you tried loading these up
and see what their contents are?

Ultimately the log files are going to be needed to do any meaningful
forensic work though.

Any chance you may been debugging the wrong box/database? That is always
something worth verifying and usually not the difficult.
