    If you have default trace records from around the time of the delete, you may be able to compile a list of suspects. Hopefully you do not too may people that have sysadmin access on your system.

    That won't help, I'm afraid.

    the default trace captured DDL changes..CREATE TABLE/INDEX etc kinds of things.

    it does not capture any DML statements like INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE; for that you need a different custom trace set up prior to the changes occurring to get any relevant info from any trace.
