Leave it to the writers to use the safe net of the non-canon THOH episodes, if they had any balls they'd do it in the regular season, and they wouldn't cop out and bring him back like the dog from Family Guy. Make it like a story arc, have the rest of the family cope with the loss of their son/brother, have the townspeople share their outrage at Bob for killing a child, maybe make it a manhunt type deal where they'd have to find him first.
Maybe it's a bit too dramatic for a comedic cartoon show, but I dunno, at least it's interesting. Or they can just have Bart get a new girlfriend or have Bart find out he's not the best prankster in Springfield or whatever other tired storylines the writers keep making for him year after boring year.
