I can't see how this is possible.  If there's no transaction then there's
nothing that should be able to change the balance.  A balance can't be changed
without an associated transaction; the transacations create the balance.

Go to "find transactions" and then you can find all transactions dated that day,
or within a day or two of your sample.
