The good news is if the car goes DEAD then the problem will be relatively easy to find....it's the intermittent ones that are a devil to find because there's nothing wrong until it goes wrong!
Since you say the car died while running and wouldn't turn over/restart, I tend to think it's a relatively simple problem, bad ground or something. I'd start with the battery cable ground to chassis and maybe the positive battery cable. After that you just have to check for 12v through the system while the car is dead.
