Sence all the kids at least when Freddy was young knew he was the bastard son of a 100 maniacs. When he came back into town and became known as the Springwood Slasher why wasnt he the first person police picked up as a suspect.?

Because you can't pick up a suspect based on name calling.

Maybe he had such an air tight alabi (sp?)?

Kids don't always remember things when they get older. Or maybe all the adults in Springwood didn't grow up there. Or maybe he was always known as that weird guy who molested kids but no one ever had any proof so they couldn't arrest him.

Of course there's always the "then there wouldn't be a movie" excuse.

Freddy's fate hinged on the ineptness of the police. He was burned alive by vengenful parents sfter he was acquitted through a loophole. It's one of Craven's favorite themes. The failure of the system leading to primal behavior.

Or maybe because the "bastard child of a hundred maniacs" angle, was a lame plot device used to justify yet another sequel?

Or because Wes Craven attempted to end the series on a good note by "invalidating" the previous films in "New Nightmare"?

Or because New Line doesn't give a shit for continuity with all that green in our wallets?
