Statute of limitations has nothing to do with it. He has already been charged with an offense, then ran and now is considered to be a fugitive.
My guess is that he has automatically waived his constitutional right to a speedy trial by fleeing. There is no doubt that he will be denied bond/another bail to await trial. If he turns himself in, he'll be in custody until they set it on the docket and called up for sure.
He needs a defense attorney, preferably one that resides in the county where the offense occurred. There is most certainly a new D.A., and district judge that will prosecute and preside over the matter.
