The Police were forced to release Bryce because of a lack of evidence. They (and the Muggle community) could not make sense of the Riddle family's deaths, as their bodies were unmarked. The Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra, which Tom Marvolo Riddle used to kill his grandparents and father, leaves no sign of violence or damage on the victims, and the Police were unable to prove that the Riddles had in fact been murdered.

The community of Little Hangleton still believed Bryce to be guilty. As a result, he lived out the rest of his life as a pariah, isolated and living on the grounds of the Riddle's estate.


It is stated that the estate passed through several wealthy but uninterested owners. The house remained unoccupied and fell into disrepair. In 1994 Voldemort secretly returned to the Riddle home. Bryce discovered Voldemort and overheard his plan to kill Harry Potter, but was discovered by the snake Nagini and revealed to Lord Voldemort, who killed him almost immediately with the Avada Kedavra curse. He would appear once more in the same book (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), during Harry and Voldemort's graveyard duel. "Priori Incantatem," also known as the reverse spell effect, brought back an image of Bryce from the tip of Voldemort's wand. Upon appearing, Bryce's spirit encouraged Harry to keep fighting. When he appears he says: "He was a real wizard then? Killed me that one did.
