Good question about tolling when a person is out of the jurisdiction. There is a statute that tolls limitations for
civil cases while the defendant is absent from the jurisdiction. I don't know about criminal cases offhand.


The federal rule:

18 USC, § 3290. Fugitives from justice

No statute of limitations shall extend to any person fleeing from justice.
