Interesting enough the spoke (with crack around it) still had tension, but after removing the tire & rim tape the cracks were big enough to let light into body of rim.
Thanks again,

Your problem could have been caused by over tension. You should have your spokes tension-balanced by a professional to avoid this problem in the future.
