Statutes of limitation do vary from state to state, in the federal code, and from crime to crime. So the exact answer to your question will have to be specific to the state and the crime (or civil action).

In many states (and in the federal courts) filing an indictment tolls the statute of limitations. That means it stops running.

Generally, the statute begins to run upon discovery of the crime, not when the crime took place. Again, this may vary from state to state. The theory is that if you don't know about the crime, you can't prosecute it. So, keeping the crime hidden may not help the criminal avoid prosecution.
