Corrected entry: While not directly stated, it is heavily implied that the house belonging to Detective Hoffman is actually the same "Nerve Gas" house from "Saw II" (based on its structural design and the presence of the trap-door leading down into the passageways), only refurbished and fixed-up. This implies that he has moved into the property and fixed it up in order to help cover up the incident and keep the police from discovering the true location.

Saw V (2008)
Corrected entry: When Agent Strahm is investigating Hoffman, he pulls up a list of previous Jigsaw victims, which include Dr. Gordon, Zep, and Adam from the bathroom game. These people should not be on the list, since the bathroom was never found before this time. The police can't just write these name on a list with merely assumptions, not to mention the fact there is hardly any evidence which could be a link to being a victim of Jigsaw for these people.
Correction: You're forgetting the fact that Zep held Dr. Gordon's wife and daughter captive in their own home and had them both talk to Gordon on the phone where he told his wife he was being held captive in a room somewhere with Adam. A little investigation by the police after the wife and daughter were rescued and it wouldn't be a reach for them to conclude that Jigsaw was behind it all. Especially given that Zep was watching security cameras of the bathroom from Dr. Gordon's own home. Plus, as we find out in the final film, Dr. Gordon survived the ordeal. And although he himself became a Jigsaw apprentice afterwards, he could still give the police details about his captivity without compromising Jigsaw.
Agreed! Also, just to add on, there is a news featurette in the first Saw that also talked about Lawrence, Adam, Tapp, and Zep's disappearances, but that they were never found.

Saw V (2008)
Corrected entry: Agent Strahm's first trap is the only trap in the whole Saw franchise that doesn't have a timer or a "hello I want to play a game," either from a tape or TV recording.

Correction: This has already been submitted and corrected. The Nerve Gas House from Saw II was connected to the bathroom from the first film, and Saw 3D shows the corpses of Adam, Zepp and Xavier still in there. The police discovered the house in this film at the very end, and if it was the same house from Saw II, then the forensics sweep would have led to the corpses in the bathroom as well. They wouldn't just leave the bodies there. If anything, the house in Saw V is simply the same kind of model as the one in Saw II.

The house that the police find is a different house that strongly resembles the nerve gas house. The actual nerve gas house was never found by the police.
