Well, his followers had to find him, so lets assume he was alive, heres what his journal would have looked like.
Day 1: My followers seemed to have lost me in a cave, dammit, I knew I should have chosen a smarter entorouge than those idiot apostiles of myne. Hmmm, apostiles is such a long word... from here forth they shall be reffered to as my apposey's. Damn, thats tight yo... I'm kinda hungry, I wish dad would send me down some mana or something.
Day 2: Alright, it seems I have been in the dark so long, that I can now see everything, but what are these strange drawings on the walls of this cave? I'm still mega hungry, and my possey is probably out drinking and eating matzah and stuff, lazy arses.
Day 3: If they don't rescue me today, they're arses are canned. You can't leave the son of God in a cave for three days and forget about him... can you? Oh no, I am having another one of those moments of doubt, maybe I'll recite some torah or something, but that books so short, someone should write a longer one, one with all the prophets, and me, damn I'd be good in a book.
Luckily for Jesues apostiles they found him and let him out of the cave and he didn't fire them since he was such a forgiving guy, and then the rest is in the bible, they just didn't put that part in because the editor thought it was irrelavent.

He ceased to exist as prophesied, for 3 days... Then Jehovah renewed his life force, thus being brought back to life in the spirit realm, yet keeping the human body for a few more earthly visitations. Aka doubting Thomas.. When he saw the nail-marks on Jesus palms... Spoke to the various apostles as well, before returning to heaven. He will return very shortly tho and reclaim this Earth that was originally meant to be peaceful and under his father's divine reign.

I could be wrong, but I think that is when Jesus went to perguatory to get all the people that were forgiven and He brought them to Heaven. I think he also went to Hell to battle the devil. Anyway, Catholics still believe in perguatory as a medium between Heaven and Hell. When God sent Jesus, he became the medium. We don't have perguatory anymore. The only way to Heaven is straight through Jesus.

3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death * in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

I believe He went to what is known as 'Abraham's Bosom'.I could be wrong,but that is my understanding of it.
And no,the ossuaries are not those of Jesus and His family.The whole theory has a myriad of problems,not to mention archaeologists are tearing the film apart.

The Bible does not specifically state what happened to Jesus immediately after He died on the cross. Because of this, there is debate surrounding the answer to the question of where He went and what He did. So, I will present differing views so you might know the scope of the answer and decide for yourself which position is preferable.
Perhaps the best known scripture that appears to deal with this issue is found in 1 Pet. 3:18-20,
"For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water."
When Jesus was made alive in the spirit, it is not saying that His spirit died and then it became alive again. "Made alive in the spirit" is contrasted with "put to death in the flesh." He first lived as mortal men but "...He began to live a spiritual 'resurrection' life, whereby He has the power to bring us to God."1 Furthermore, some Bibles (NIV, KJV, and NKJV) render the verse as "made alive by the Spirit," referring to the Holy Spirit's work with Christ. “By the Spirit” translates one word, pneumati, which could refer to the third Person of the Trinity as the agent of Christ’s resurrection.2
One view where Jesus was and what He did before His resurrection is that He went to Hades (the place of the dead) and made proclamation to those who were in spiritual prison. The word "proclamation" in Greek is kerusso. It means to proclaim and is a different word than "euaggelizo" which means to preach the gospel. Therefore, it is most probable that Jesus was not preaching the gospel to those in Hades/Spirit prison so they could be saved, but was instead proclaiming the truth to them. After all, the Bible says, "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment," (Heb. 9:27).
But who were the ones in spiritual prison? Some believe it is the people who were alive at the time of Noah's flood and who were killed in the flood. Others believe it is all humanity who died before the time of the cross. There seems to be support for the former position in 2 Pet. 2:4-5,
"For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly."
Needless to say, this passage also raises many questions and much debate can be found as to its precise meaning. Nevertheless, as far as the other option goes, that Jesus simply presented the facts concerning His work on the cross to those in spiritual prison, we can look to Eph. 4:8-9 for possible support.
"When He ascended on high, He led captive a host of captives, and He gave gifts to men. 9 Now this expression, 'He ascended,' what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things...
Some theologians believe that during the three days between Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, He descended into Abraham's bosom3 (Luke 16:19-31), proclaimed to them the mystery of the gospel, and then led them into heaven to dwell with God. The belief is that they were not permitted to enter into the presence of God in heaven until after the atonement. Once that had happened, Jesus who had died, descended to Abraham's bosom, proclaimed the gospel, and then led its residents into heaven.
So, even though we cannot precisely determine where Jesus was and what He did during those three days, it seems apparent that He presented the gospel message (not to have them get saved) to those in spirit prison and possibly also to those in Abraham's bosom.
