In the dream sequence when Nancy goes to check on Rod in the police station, Pod is sleeping on the bed in the cell.

As the camera looks down on him asleep, he is lying on top of the sheets with no shoes on, and you can clearly see Rod's white socked feet.

Second later the sheet wraps round Rods neck and starts to choke him.

Rod is found hanging in the cell dead....But with his shoes on!! HOW? Maybe Freddy didn't like Rod's Sweaty socks!
