Bookworm:
IMO, they did.  They were tortured several weeks *after* Voldemort 
disappeared by Bellatrix and company - who thought the Longbottoms 
knew where Voldemort was - at a time when everyone was just starting 
to relax and believe that the war was over. (GoF, The Pensieve)

Both the Potters and Longbottoms went into hiding around the same 
time.  Voldemort found the Potters first because of Pettigrew.    
After Voldemort disappeared the Longbottoms could come out of 
hiding.
