If the person has been a fugitive from justice, that has probably "tolled" the statute of limitations, meaning the time doesn't run for that purpose, while the person was and is on the run.
For advice that you can rely on, if you're looking at something like this, you would need to have a South Carolina attorney look at all of the facts. One place to find a lawyer who might be able to straighten this out for you is our website, http://attorneypages.com
