Tomcat version = ?

Is automatic deployment enabled on Host?

Is there a <context>.war file? If there is one, what is its timestamp?
Is there a conf/<Service>/<Host>/<contextname>/xml file? If there is
one, what is its timestamp?

What is the timestamp of <context> directory?

Anything in Tomcat logs for those dates?
Anything in Tomcat manager access logs for those dates?
Redeployment should leave a trace there.

Anything in Windows Event Log for those dates?

Was your webapp running? Maybe it failed to start and nobody cared?

Was the directory writable?
The following is mentioned in the FAQ, but I think it does not matter
for recent versions of Tomcat (or of Apache Commons Daemon), as it is
more UAC friendly than it was in old times:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Windows#Q8

Time zone = ? Are daylight changes enabled? (I remember someone
reporting that a daylight timezone change have triggered a
redeployment. That matters only if automated deployments are enabled).
Huh, it was your own thread...
