It is tempting to believe that Voldemort created a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]], the one embedded in the ring of the Peverells that Voldemort had stolen from his uncle [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Morfin Gaunt|Morfin Gaunt]], via the murder of Tom Riddle Sr. Evidence in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']] is inconclusive: Riddle's conversation with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Horace Slughorn|Professor Slughorn]], that we see in the Pensieve, suggests that Riddle did not yet know how to create a Horcrux. During that conversation, Tom asks about Horcruxes, and we see that Tom is wearing the Gaunt ring. It is possible that Tom had already created a Horcrux, in the ring, and his question is designed to put Slughorn more at ease about his abilities and ideas; we can see that the main thrust of his questions is more to do with the possibility of creating multiple Horcruxes. Dumbledore does state that Tom had no longer wanted to wear the ring once it was a Horcrux, and while this must be supposition on Dumbledore's part, he was usually accurate in his guesses. Additionally, we have Tom's look of triumph when he has received the information about Horcruxes from Slughorn; given the author's usual efficiency, we have to think that he has done more here than just hoodwink Slughorn. Tom must have gotten some real information from Slughorn to merit that amount of joy.
The author has stated that it was the death of Tom's father that allowed him to create his first Horcrux; presumably he only chose to hide the Horcrux away, rather than keeping it close to himself, when he had created a second one. This would imply that Dumbledore had made a trivial error; as mentioned, Dumbledore believed at that time that Tom knew how to make a Horcrux, but not that he had done so. Dumbledore likely believed that the ring had only been made into a Horcrux via the death of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Moaning Myrtle|Moaning Myrtle]]; at that point, likely, Tom stopped wearing the ring, hiding it in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/House of Gaunt|Gaunt shack]], because he now had the Diary as a backup. In this case, Tom's look of triumph at the conclusion of his talk with Slughorn probably relates to his having learned that making multiple Horcruxes was possible.
It is possible that Frank Bryce's murder was used to create the final Horcrux of the set that Voldemort was planning; bringing the circle to closure, by generating the last piece of his "''immortality''" in the abandoned home of his hated father, would likely have appealed to Voldemort's sense of humour. It is also possible that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bertha Jorkins|Bertha Jorkins]]' death was used to create a Horcrux; at that point, he would have been keen to finish the full set, and would have had no way to know that Frank would so conveniently present himself. The author has stated in an interview that the sixth and final
