I was looking a deleted answer (the link is for 10k users or moderators) for which there was a comment.
When I clicked on "show 1 more comment," the comment was not shown.
Who has stolen the comment?

The ♦ "show deleted comments" button reports that one comment was deleted by the user (nico) about 1 minute after being created. It is entirely possible that this is simply a denormalized counter that was misreporting as "1" instead of "0" (for the number of active comments) - perhaps some old glitch due to the post being deleted.
Edit: there is a second comment that was deleted more recently (the comment was obsolete) - I'll check if there is a glith in the admin tools (i.e. not resetting that counter)

Wait, deleted comments aren't actually deleted either? You actually do delete chat messages though, right? Right?– JohnOct 27, 2011 at 17:14
Isn’t there a possibility of user may delete the comment at the same time where you try to view that. If so you might see there is a comment which actually not there.

2The answer is deleted (hence the grey background) I don't think you can do anything on deleted posts - including delete comments.– ChrisF ModOct 27, 2011 at 13:28

Even if it were possible to delete comments on deleted answers, I refreshed the page, closed the tab I was using to view the question, opened a new tab to watch the question on that tab; still, I am said there is a comment, but that comment is not shown.– apadernoOct 27, 2011 at 13:45

I was able to delete a comment I posted for an answer that has been converted in a comment, after the answer was deleted. This means it is possible to delete comments from deleted answers, if you are the 10k user who wrote it; I guess that moderators can also delete comments from deleted answers.– apadernoOct 27, 2011 at 18:30
