What does that mean. If you remove the power in cable from a junction box everything left in the box should then be dead.

You have a short after the junction box. If you know the breaker hot is OK, disconnect all the wires in the j box and start connecting each pair to the hot lead. One of the sets will trip the breaker assuming there is more than 1 pair.
