He was found dead on public roads and nothing could identify him. Very likely just vagabond.
If they ask : indeed he pays for a lot of anonymous to be buried. If they open those graves, all corpses are missing.
All those coffins were traded during transport with coffins full of earth.(Some of them with coins, some without)
Theobald Shuplice come every week. He will be back soon.
The players try to search for the catacombs, but it's a complete labyrinth, no chance.
They find punching equipments inside the tunnel as well as lots of ingots of silver, copper, lead and iron, and other metals. Too many of them.
