It depends on a lot of things. For one, it depends on the stage of the case. If the person was already charged, then it can stay there forever as a bench warrant. If they're just looking for the person and not charged them, it depends on the crime as they all have different statutes of limitatins. Also these vary from state to state.

I would usually say until the statuette of limitations run out.
But you said warrant if a warrant has been issued it will stay open until the case is tried.

it probaly depends on the state.
received a ticket for unregistered vehicle in oklahoma,figured i would never be back and continued to move to california.
ten or so years later moved to florida and applied for a drivers license.
florida would not issue me a drivers lic. because of an outstanding ticket in oklahoma.
california had no agreement with oklahoma.
its better to get some easy to read nolo press law books and face up to it.
other wise you will always be looking over your shoulder,it will affect your whole person .negatively
