Absence of evidence is evidence of absence only in situation where evidence would be expected. And in the example you cite, this is not the case. Actually, the example he cites is a good one. If you search every home in a neighborhood and find no evidence of a murderer, that is, indeed, evidence the murderer is not in that neighborhood. No it isn't. Or at least, it is equally evidence that you didn't search well enough, that one of the searchers is the murderer and didn't rat himself out, or any one of a number of other things.
