I have a trace tracking one station pinging another, across multiple days: 32,371 frames 

10.1.2.3    10.1.2.4    ICMP    Echo (ping) request
10.1.2.4    10.1.2.3    ICMP    Echo (ping) reply
10.1.2.3    10.1.2.4    ICMP    Echo (ping) request
10.1.2.4    10.1.2.3    ICMP    Echo (ping) reply
[...]

Somewhere in there is one missing ICMP Echo Reply

I want to find precisely where (when) this occurs.

Can you think of a Wireshark way to accomplish this?
[If not, then I'll write a little code to walk through a text version of the trace, looking for two back-to-back 'Echo (ping) request' lines ... but I'm hoping for something slightly faster.]
