As we know, Dumbledore mistakenly states in HBP that Voldemort used
Nagini to kill Frank Bryce (unfortunately, Harry never remembers the
dream in which he sees LV AK Frank), but possibly DD isn't entirely
mistaken. In GoF he states that Frank Bryce, like Bertha Jorkins,
*disappeared.* IOW, his body was never found. Since Voldemort planned
to feed first Wormtail (who is reprieved from death by a message from
Crouch!Moody stating that Crouch Sr. is dead) and then Harry (who
escapes from the graveyard using the cup portkey) to Nagini after
killing them, it seems likely to me that Voldemort fed both Bertha
Jorkins and Frank Bryce to Nagini after killing them, partly to reward
or appease Nagini and partly to dispose of the evidence. Dumbledore
also mentions a number of disappearances in VW1 though he doesn't
specify any names. Mad-Eye Moody later refers to Caradoc Dearborn who
disappeared without a trace, and we know of two disappearances in HBP
(Ollivander and Florian Fortescue). While I think that Ollivander may
be in hiding (or kidnapped), I wonder if any of the other people who
disappeared may have been eaten by Nagini.

about Frank's disappearance and put two and two together
