Oh is that really how it works? In that case the prosecutor could just wait and bring a charge against somebody 50 years later?

I just read up on it. Statute runs only while the person is in the state and not hiding, usually. But it’s not simply based on when the crime was discovered.

for criminal offenses, the tolling of the SOL begins when the crime is committed, not when someone is charged. That would completely defeat the purpose of the SOL if it only began to toll once someone was charged.
