Answer 4

Every state has different statue of limitations for different crimes.

Most states have no statue of limitations on severe crimes such as rape, murder and child molestation.

Try googling your state's laws, revised statutes until you get the specifics.  

Remember that the state where the crime was committed is the state to google.

Answer 5
