In forensic science it is not rare that common sayings are used to support particular inferences. A typical example is the adage 'The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence'. This paper analyzes the rationale hidden behind such statement and it offers a structural way to approach the analysis of this particular adage throughout a careful analysis of four different scenarios.
