Joe:
So connecting the above with info from another post:

On page 648 of GoF (US), Voldemort asks "And then I ask
myself, but how could they have believed I would not rise again?
They, who knew the steps I took, long ago, to guard myself against
mortal death?".

Leads me to believe that RAB discovered LV's secret and the DEs
learned about it from him either directly or indirectly.  In another
post it was ventured that LV would never have told his followers
about his horcruxes, and maybe he didn't but RAB let the cat out of
the bag and that is why he says that they knew the steps he took to
guard himself against mortal death.
