Plot hole: In part 6, Jason kills numerous people as well as the entire sheriff's department (minus 1) yet investigators just leave his body in the lake and not recover it? Very unlikely.

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: John Carl Buechler
Starring: Kane Hodder, Susan Blu, Jennifer Banko, John Otrin, Lar Park-Lincoln
Visible crew/equipment: As Tina swerves off of the road after seeing her mum get killed by Jason in the middle of the road, if you look in the back of the car, you can see a camera set up, filming the shots in the back seat. (00:43:15)
Ben: Happy fuckin' Birthday.
Trivia: During his four-movie tenure portraying Jason, Kane Hodder actually put a lot of thought into the character, and developed what he thought Jason's personality would be in order to give himself motivation for the role. Hodder also created a strict set of rules that he would follow while playing Jason. For example, Hodder felt Jason would never hurt animals, since he had a childlike mind and wouldn't want to harm a creature he saw as inherently innocent. And more importantly, Hodder insisted that while he played the character, Jason would not harm or go after children, since he "drowned" as a child and recognizes them as being innocent like he was. While the rules do somewhat contradict earlier films, Hodder stuck by his guns.
Question: Why wasn't Jason recovered after Tommy drowned him at the end of part 6?
Answer: Any answer is pure speculation, but my personal theory is that people just decided to turn their heads and look the other way. It seemed like Jason was finally dead at the end of part six, so authorities just decided to leave him where he was to rot. At least that's my theory.
