Update:
I bought a replacement fixture and a voltage sniffer at Lowes. The only issue was that the voltage sniffer kept giving a positive response on that fixture, no matter how many breakers I threw. I finally figured out, through too many trips up and down the basement stairs, that the voltage sniffer was getting a false reading from the fluorescent light on the fish tank that is very near where this fixture is located. The only way I finally got the sniffer to stay off was to make sure the circuit the for the fish tank was off, before I turned any other circuits off. I finally identified the one the broken fixture was on and then replaced it.
I really want to find some other type of light fixture to go there, but since that box isn't wired to a switch, it makes my choices very slim. I am going to keep looking, but for now, the new one is working, finally.
