He tricked her and replaced the locket  prior to taking it to the 
lake.

Tonks:
Makes sense. That is that RAB is in the lake. Perhaps he was sent  
with Bella to place the locket in the cave and was never expected to  
come out alive. Maybe Bella stayed on the bank and he went across in 
the  boat. She doesn't seem to have any problem killing a relative. 
If it was  known that he might be having second thoughts it could 
have been set up for  him to die there. After all it seems to be a 
dangerous job to get to the  pensive in
The question is: Is the real locket still a horcrux? It can't be  
opened therefore, I think that it is still a horcrux and that it was 
in  the stuff that Mundungus had in the bag when Tonks saw him. Who 
has it  now?



Nikkalmati:
So glad you all agree with my previous posts.  See 150465, 150531,  150548, 
and 150602.
Now if we can only bring Carol along!  I can see that Bella could have  
brought RAB along and either he was pushed in the lake or he fell in on the way  
back, but I do not think Bella is without family feeling.  She seems on  good 
terms with Cissy at Spinners End (they are quarreling, but it pretty much  like 
sisters do and if Cissy did not trust her she would have abandoned the  visit 
to SS entirely when Bella followed her).
 
  If LV suspected RAB and ordered Bella to push him in the lake, I am  sure 
she would do it, but if he was under suspicion it would be harder for him  to 
switch the locket.  She may have sent him out to do the hard part in the  
center of the lake and he fell in by accident, but this job is so sensitive and  
important, I don't think she or LV would trust it to a kid.  It seems more  
likely to me that he was killed later by another DE when his changed loyalties  
were discovered or that he was killed trying to open the locket.  Maybe he  
asked SS to help with he locket and SS betrayed him?  Does anyone have an  opinion 
on when LV got the locket and where it was before he put on the island  it in 
the lake?  Are the other horcruxes so well protected or was it the  last one 
to be hidden and so it was the best guarded? 
 
The locket at GP is most likely a horcrux  and it seems to be the  prevailing 
opinion that Dung sold it to Abeforth or Kreacher has it hidden away.
