The Longbottoms

What did Alice and Frank Longbottom know to bring on such cruel
torture? I know may of us have fantacised about them being able to
impart some secret to Neville etc but has any one has any real ideas
about why on Earth the DE's would think that the Longbottom's knew
anything about the downfall or the whereabouts of LV? I know they were
Aurors but I find it  very hard to believe that Bella would clutch at
straws when her success would have her masters return in the balance?

If this topic had already been chewed over please can someone direct me
to a theory. If not does anybody have one?
