There are different statutes of limitation for different crimes. For example, there is no statute of limitation for murder. So, even if a murder is discovered 50 years after it was committed, the murderer can still be charged with the crime. The statutes of limitation may be different from state to state as well.
A lot of offenses have what is known as a "statute of limitations' on them. This is NOT the case with every state or with every offense. More specific information would have to be known about the crime and state in order to answer.
