How could he have broken into their home and abducted her without anyone noticing anything? He would have to be unaccounted for for a long period of time in order to kidnap her.
What about the physical evidence in their house? It all pointed to Nick not Desi so how would his (Desi's) presence be explainable?
I'll have to rewatch her confession but that would be a hard sell to law enforcement I would think.
That was one of the many weaknesses of her whole story. Not mentioned in the film but in the book Desi's affluent mother smelled a rat and was making inquiries. I'm sure with all his many cameras (home and likely at work) it would be easy for the police to determine Desi was elsewhere during the initial "kidnapping."
He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.
Yes, wouldn't the camera have shown him entering the house with him of her own free will? And wasn't she at some point out on the back terrace alone, looking at the view? She even looked at the camera, I believe.
The detective immediately seized on the idea of a bound woman being able to obtain a boxcutter and then kill her assailant with it.
I think the lead detective just thought public support for her would hinder the case from moving forward.
I'm going to assume that she deleted all the data, except for the final day. She had enough time in the house to figure out the system, and Barney Stinson was too crazy / obsessed to probably notice her rifling through his stuff. I have worked in offices with elaborate surveilance systems - they are oddly pretty easy to disable and to delete the data off the central server.
She is crazy obsessive, so if she had a plan I'll have to assume to covered her bases.
I'm speaking to the ORIGINAL "abduction" that happened within her own home, not what happened in the lake house.
She had set that crime scene up to incriminate Nick not Desi.
The fact that she had to improvise after losing the $$$ blows up her original story right?
Desi was independently wealthy and a loner so if he were not around for a few days (that's all it would have been) it would not have been noticed.
And the physical evidence in their house, the main thing I remember is evidence of a struggle and that there had been a lot of her blood in the kitchen which had been cleaned up. That doesn't point to Nick in particular.
The part that pointed to Nick was evidence the scene had been staged, which got the local detectives suspecting Nick, as Amy intended. But the problem is that now that those detectives believe Nick, it is out of their hands. The FBI has been embarrassed because they look like they were incompetent. They are glad to take her at face value and let this go away.
The only person who has the information to indict Amy is Nick, and she has made sure that he can't say anything.

Yeah, you're right. How was all the blood found on the kitchen floor under the Luminol explained under the Desi scenario?
shareoption 1: Desi abducts Amy and makes the scene look like a poor clean up with the intention of implicating Nick
option 2: Nick panics and cleans up the blood because he thinks it would incriminate him
