Just on surface instinct, if He did appear, I would think the timelines of His Incarnation, resurrection, Ascension, and Glorification and no second coming yet, would imply His appearance would be limited between the first 40 days after the Resurrection. This would also have to exclude the three days in the grave, and multiple appearances to those in the mideast whom reported His appearance.
The resurrected body apparantly has the ability to walk through walls and not bound by time or locale, so perhaps there is some substance behind it.
I suspect there may be a considerable amount of research already performed by others more fully scrutinizing the issues.
