I'm thinking broken bolt (although who know's why) followed by misalignment and bearing wear, How do the chain & sprockets look?
The break was on the right side....opposite the chain & sprocket. I haven't laid my eyes on the front sprocket yet, but the rear looks ok.

Correct. It's the long bolt that holds the swing arm on the frame.
