What he has to say is that there is evidence of an abduction. Saying there is no evidence that there was not an abduction is not the same thing.
So you are saying you want him to use the word "evidence"? Is that what you mean? Because a few of those statements don't use the word evidence but he flat out states she was abducted (as if it is fact) and he says they are basing their belief of her statements on "info we've received". Here are the statements:
Nov 29 2016 Interview with People:
“
But keep in mind too she had been abducted,” he says. “We don’t have any reason not to believe her.
She was abducted held captive for three weeks and then released. Traumatized from the experience and then of course very emotional about being released and then being reunited with her husband.”

"The interviews were very intense for both the investigators and for Sherri,
due to her having to relive this traumatic event," Bosenko said. "She was cooperative and courageous during the interviews. She described a sequence of events to the best of her recollection.
Remember, that she was held against her will and was isolated."

Sheriff Tom Bosenko said that investigators have no reason to doubt Sherri Papini's story, adding that they are looking for two Hispanic women armed with a firearm driving a dark-colored SUV.

Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko is disputing a Huffington Post story posted late Friday that cites an unnamed source in his department as saying a hoax is not being "ruled out" in Sherri Papini's kidnapping investigation.
"Based on information we have, there's no reason to believe this is not legitimate," Bosenko said. "
Since speaking to Papini, based on information we've received, we believe her. We believe that this was an abduction."

JMO, but it's it even stronger of a statement for him to flat our say "she was abducted" and "we believe this was abduction" than to say "there is evidence of an abduction". "Evidence" can be faked or staged or misleading. He is flat out stating she was abducted and they believe her based on information they have.
