Although Dr. William Lane Craig has presented 10 points of evidence in his research/books re the empty tomb, because of time constraints he outlines only several of these here in this video.

How many angels appeared to the women who came to Jesus’ tomb on Resurrection Sunday? One? Two? It seems to depend on the account. Matthew and Mark mention only one. Luke and John seem to mention two. Is there a contradiction here, and if so, does it invalidate the reliability of the Resurrection accounts? Let’s begin by examining the descriptions offered in the New Testament…” For complete article click here.
