In rereading part of GoF last night, I noticed that Voldemore says
Bertha Jorkins told him about a DE who would be willing to serve him
if only Voldemort could get to him (or something like that).  But why
would Bertha have known this?  Might there have been some relationship
between Bertha and the elder Barty Crouch that has not yet been
revealed?  Remember, Mrs. Crouch was already dead, so perhaps Bertha
provided him some, er, companionship.  If so, what else might Bertha
have known that she could have told Voldemort?

BECKY:  Actually, if you remember Winky's testimony, Bertha came over one day when Crouch wasn't home.  She overheard Winky talking to Crouch Jr. under the invisibility cloak and was able to figure out who was under it.   When Crouch Sr. came home she confronted him but he used a memory charm on her.  This may have contributed to her forgetfullness as Serius Black indicated she wasn't real sharp but definitely wasn't forgetful. 

Crouch Jr. told us that it was only under torture that Voldemort was able to break through the memory charm and discover that Crouch Jr. was being held at the house.
