I'm writing the plot for a comic I'm making for a class assignment and it involves a former gang member being a suspect for a murder that happened 15 years ago, during which he had left the gang and fled across the country.
I'm just not sure if a murder investigation in a dodgy area would last that long. What if the police got a tip as to who it may have been years down the line?
