I get where your thinking is here. Bad ground can prevent the starter from getting enough current (amps) even if it has enough volts. I had a car do this once when the battery ground cable's chassis connection was loose.
To the OP, it's a good idea to check the battery connections, battery ground, and engine ground straps. To be honest though, considering how suddenly it went out it's probably the starter.
