The statute of limitations of a crime is how long a governing body has to file charges for a specific crime. No suspect is needed for the statute of limitations to go into effect. Murder does not have a statute of limitations, and if a person is the known perpetrator, and said person flees the country any and all statutes of limitations will be suspended.
