For one, the body might not have made it to the tomb because the Romans just decided to pitch it instead of handing it over to Joseph of Aramathea. It could have been stolen by someone who wasn't a follower. It could have been stolen by a minor follower who didn't tell anyone else.
Or maybe it's just a story. Or 4 stories that differ from each other wildly, especially when we get to the important part (the ending).
The Jews and Romans where familiar with the prophecies and at least the Jews would have been hell bent on making sure he stayed dead.
