Question

How long does and investigator have to get an indictment?

Answer 1

The investigator does not determine when and if an indictment or warrant is issued.

That is up to the DA or Prosecutors office.

Statute of limitations on a misdemeanor is 2 years, felonies 5 to 10 years, meaning that the case must be indicted within that time period.

Answer 2

Investigators don't get indictments, the DA's Office does. Depends on the statute of limitations for each crime.

Answer 3

Depends on the state and the crime. In my state there is no limitations period, meaning you could get indicted for a crime occurring 50 years ago. In other states there may be a limitations period that usually applies to all but the most serious offenses.
