This would depend on which state you live in or the crime was committed in, and also the type of crime committed.

The statute of limitations varies depending on the laws in the state, province or country you live in. Most have set a misdemeanor at 2 or 3 years. Some have no expiration for felony crimes. Murder and rape normally do not have an statute of limitations at all.

That means you have to be charged with the crime before the expiration. Once you have been charged, the statute of limitations no longer applies.
