What would cause such catastrophic failure?

I think the replaced stocks have nothing to do with a catastrophic event. Sort of a "while you are at it"...
It's always possible it was simply a refurbishment after nearly 14 years of hard use. But how much use would this have seen if owned by a Tennessee constable?

Anecdote Alert:
Years and years ago, the local hardware store with gun counter owner showed me two .44s that had been back to S&W for refurbishment after a house fire. I don't recall if they were Triple Locks, second or third model, sorry. There were originally three but one was considered not safely repairable.
They were gorgeous, fresh nickel plate, I bet the markings were redone, new Magna grips.
But they should have replaced the barrels and cylinders. They were rough inside.

Well no one knows. The OP just asked for folks to guess on why it was returned. So take a guess.
Let's see how many pages this can run!
