For a society that is stuck at least a century in the past and has longevity of 21 century, Ghost Law must be a highly complicated and often discussed subject in any high society gathering.
One of the reasons I used muggle world for Tom's demise is just how easy it is for a wizard to adjust a group of muggles to the narrative he wants to weave. And how hard it would be for an average wizard investigating the deed to uncover the truth.
With Tom being an uneasy-associate-to-be-offed or uncomfortable witness, anyone investigating can hit the moment where the lead ends, and they switch to another source/theory. There would be no witnesses or evidence that could confirm Tom's death, so there is space for doubt.
