Very good point. Kind of like how Olaf claimed the one guy had swallowed a box of thumbtacks...yeah right! Actually, wasn't that from The Vile Village as well, maybe the previous police chief?

That was the previous police chief who "swallowed thumbtacks". But, who knows how Olaf actually killed that police chief? I get the vague impression that he used some method even more unbelievable than making the Chief of Police swallow tacks.

With people like Miss Tench, who fell from a window (if I recall correctly), then Olaf merely murders them in a way which can look like suicide or accident. He got rid of Gustav and Foreman Firstein quietly, and hid the bodies, so it just seemed like they vanished. Captain Sam and Gunther didn't replace anyone, so no murder was necessary (although Olaf may well have killed somebody to get his boat business in TWW). With the previous police chief, Olaf and Esmé just had to quietly dispose of him, and then Esmé just had to put about a false story about his death (which everyone would believe, as who would be better place to know than the new chief of police?). There's really quite a variety.

He drowned Gustav in the swamp(claiming in his note to Monty that Gustav fell in).

Personally, I doubt the villagers themselves will ever find out Olaf killed Jacques. The agents of the arsonist side of the schism all over the town will ensure it's kept quiet, and if Kit revealed the truth while passing through, she too would be in danger. But Hecor would come down with the Quagmires and rescue her in Dues Ex Machina. ;D ;D ;D

Sorry, this is really off-topic. I just wanted to say I hate the elders. :S

Dear Readers. Maybe Olaf just strangled Jacques, and then made the cuts on his throat.

Dear Readers. Maybe Olaf just strangled Jacques, and then made the cuts on his throat. Yes, because when I read TVV, it does not mention Olaf ever showing the crowd the tooth marks. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is old, but it's on page 1, so I assumed it was OK to bump.
At the end of one of the chapters, it's mentioned that the villagers cover Jacques up with a sheet, meaning they must have seen his body and any damage, so Olaf must have made some punctures on his body, regardless of whether or not they actually killed him.
I'm probably wrong, but whatever.
