If the Jewish authorities and Romans had gone to all the trouble to arrest and try and crucify him, why was there never once a search-party assembled to find him and take care of him, if he posed enough of a problem to go to all the trouble to do away with him on Passover weekend.
Something spooked Jesus. He hid from his enemies in Jerusalem by spending December of 29 CE through April of 30 in the southern frontier of the Decapolis region over the river Jordan.

What I find most intriguing is the cryptic reference in the gospel of John to Jesus’ retreat
across the Jordan the last winter of his life. He has left Jerusalem after Hanukah and John reports:
Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands. He went away
again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there
he remained. And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but
everything that John said about this man was true.” And many believed in him there
(John 10:39-42).
