[HPforGrownups] To solve the Murder Mystery, I was reading GoF Chapter 1 and came across this:

"If?" Whispered the second voice. "If? If you follow the plan, Wormtail, the Ministry need never know that anyone else has died. You will do it quietly and without fuss; I only wish that I could do it myself, but in my present condition...Come, Wormtail, one more death and our path to Harry Potter is clear. I am not asking you to do it alone. By that time, my faithful servant will have rejoined us --"

If I remember right, nobody is killed till LV's plan starts going haywire. He doesn't kill Crouch Sr, but puts him under Imperius. Also, he doesn't kill Moody. Then whose murder was the plan about? *I wish I could do it myself* means it must be someone pretty important. Am I missing anything or is there one unaccounted and unheard murder? How can we miss somebody who is killed if LV wanted to kill him himself? People, please help me here. Trying to clear one mystery I have been entangled in another.

"Both my UK pb editions one is a first and the other is an adult edition seven, use the word 'disappeared' and not died.

I believe that this difference was discussed in depth some time ago. 

My books seem to make sense, what version are you reading?

I have no doubt that someone will fill us in on the previous discussion.

Becki;
I am fortunate enough to have both American and UK versions, but I can't find which printing, and they differ in this scene.
American GoF, HB, p10; (using the sentence prior too) "...and if we proceed, if I murder-"
The following sentence uses "died".
UK GF (Paperback) p.15 "...and if we proceed, if I curse-"
The following sentence uses "disappeared".
I wonder how many different wordings there are to this mystery.
