No, time restraints have been put on hold since she skipped bail and has stopped the process.
So no the statute of limitations will not run out while she in wanted. She can be caught 20 years from now and still prosecuted. Also there is an additional crime of skipping bail so she is only making it worse on herself.

sorry no dice, there is a limit on prosecuting certain crimes, but not on warrants. Her best bet is to turn herself in, take care of the warrant, she may or may not face jail time, but it could be as simple as a ticket and/or a fine. Get it overwith and she can move on with her life instead of hiding.

Nope, they can catch her (since she's a felon) in ANY state, at any time. There are no time restraints on warrants...sorry. She should definitely just go ahead and turn herself in, it's going to be worse when she gets detained.
P.S.
Not only are the local police looking for her, but she also has bounty hunters on her tail, too.

NO
THE POLICE TRY TO SERVE A WARRANT FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. THEN IT IS FILED AS ACTIVE / INACTIVE.
THE WARRANT WAS NOT SERVED AT THIS TIME, AND IS BEING PUT IN AN INACTIVE FILE STATUS TO BE RETRIEVED WHEN SUSPECT IS FOUND (STOPPED, ETC.)
ONCE A WARRANT IS ISSUED, IT IS ENFORCEABLE AT ANY TIME. LIKE A MURDER CASE IT NEVER RUNS OUT(NO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS)
FOR THE WARRANT TO GO AWAY, TWO THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN:
1) EITHER THE WARRANT IS SERVED.
2) THE SUSPECT DIES.

No, she'll be wanted until she either turns herself in or until the warrant is served. I don't know where people get this idea that bench warrants expire.

First of all it is spelled "warrant".
Second, and in answer to your question, no.
A warrant is a warrant - it never goes away until she turns herself in and takes care of it.
