---- Site Completely Gone From Google - Thoughts? Advice?

One of our 12k-page website that is aged and has a PR4 had all 12k indexed fine on Feb. 13th (of course there was a decent amount in Supp.), then we got a great Valentine's gift on Feb. 14th and were completely dropped from the Google index. When I do cache:www.example.com, it says 'did not match any documents'. This site was getting around 1000 visits from Google a day.

I submitted a new sitemap via Webmaster Tools yesterday.

Obviously all Google referrals have dried up completely. I have read on this forum this happening to others, and then the sites came back.

Any idea what could be happening? The toolbar still says this site has a PR4. Could this site have been dropped by Google erroneously?

Anyone else have this happen recently or ever? If so, did your site get re-indexed?

[edit reason] switch toexample.com - it can never be owned [/edit]
