yeah, I'm assuming the main panel breaker does indeed cut the power source in question? Has that at least been verified?
From there, I would flip the main breaker back on and start switching breakers off one at a time and keeping the previous breakers off until you hit pay dirt. Then at least you found one of your possible two breakers that could be your problem. Unless you have some secondary panel you haven't yet located. It wouldn't surprise me if a second panel is behind some sheetrock or paneling somewhere.

At some point you just have to say "beyond me" and hire a professional" not being able to figure out the source of power to this plug would be that point. you could have an old as shite breaker box under a wall somewhere that is a damn fire hazard or something.

My wife was standing in the kitchen watching to see if the porch lights would go out while I was flipping switches. She said she could here clicking behind the refrigerator while I was doing that. I thought nothing of it b/c I figured she didn't know what she was talking about.
There isn't a visible panel back there, and I'm not sure which breaker turns the fridge off either.
I wouldn't think you could hide a panel in the wall. I know the guy that built the house was an architect and he designed it himself, but he didn't build it himself.
