Yeah I think you're right. It was the evidence thing. You can't come out and accuse your "abducted" wife without evidence. It would make the public hate him again.
Here are some of the inconsistencies I was talking about (Some taken from Reddit):
-With so many cameras around his home, wouldn't NPH have an alibi for the morning of the abduction?
-Amy changes her story and claims that the rich guy forced his way into her home and kidnapped her. The old man that called Affleck about the cat was sitting at the front of his house - wouldn't he have seen this?
-Amy's entire plan rests solely on the fact that her husband will go to a secluded place to think about their marriage while she fakes the kidnapping. Considering that she knows her husband is cheating, and also think he's a massive frick up that seems like a huge risk
-NPH's house is covered in cameras. I'm willing to let it slide that there aren't any in the bedroom, but wouldn't they have shown her arriving a week after the kidnapping, and getting out completely fine? How bout her walking outside on the decking?
-When killing said rich guy, she slit this throat, not stabbed him violently ... she's slit his throat. Weren't her hands supposed to be tied up?
-Amy claims that she was hit over the head when kidnapped and lost - in the detective's words - "a life threatening amount of blood". She sticks to this story when the police and FBI are questioning her at the end (in fact her story hinges on it), yet not one person brings up the fact that there is no sign of a massive gash on her head. Considering that her husband is desperate to prove that she's a lying killer, you think he would mention it.
-At the end she says that Nick would have to take blame for stealing the credit cards and buying the stuff in the woodshed. Couldn't she just say that she bought him all that stuff for their anniversary since the clues she left led there?
-Affleck pointed it out, but "I think he may kill me" is a convenient ending line to the diary.

That was his lake home. He didn't live there. We have no idea about the cameras in his actual home.

Easy. He did not live at the lake house. He moved there to be with her. He let her stay there, so she could stay off the grid. No guarantee the other house had cameras.

Somebody not seeing something is hard to use as proof.

In the book, she directs him a little better. And she knows him very well, even knowing when and where he cheats (this is the scavenger hunt). I'll give the benefit of the doubt here.

Nick even makes a reference to this. He says, "How'd she get a box cutter if she was tied up?" And the cop acts like he is an ungrateful a-hole who isn't happy to have his wife back. She benefits from the case being handing off to the feds, and it being too sensitive of a time to question her heavily.

This is odd. But keep in mind, that everyone is shocked she's alive and that they were completely wrong about everything. They aren't looking to incriminate her like we the viewers are.

Her diary mentions arguing about credit card debt and such. She needs him to be hiding something from him. The blame can't be on her.

That is actually not the very last line of the entry in the book, but I don't mind this one, like I don't mind the box cutter killing Desi because it is addressed in the movie. It's not like they missed it. A character sees the problem. When Amy takes some heat in the hospital, she is quick to point out how the cops have fricked up the whole investigation to this point. Most of them don't have the confidence to bark up another tree.

a lot of your problems hinge on the whole "how does anyone believe this shite?" story. you have to think of it from someone's perspective who didn't know she faked it. you see this story, how it's portrayed in the media, how it all was going down, and then she shows up…you don't question that. you just thank God she's safe. the book does a great job of showing that whole psyche, IMO. the movie doesn't convey that quite as well, though it does a pretty good job.

Got to this part in the book. He is banging his girl, not at the beach. But he has to lie to the cops about this initially. And by the time they know about her, he isn't talking to them anymore under the advice of his lawyer.

I've seen this mentioned a few times in this thread from the reddit thread and no one has pointed out the obvious. Everyone found out about the "abduction" AFTER she slit NPH's throat. So he's a little dead to chime in with his alibi
