I'm not a citizen but I have a green card in the united states. I commited a crime but I never was proven guilty. But someone said the law sent me a letter to me about the crime. I wasn't proven guilty and I left the country. that means I'm innocent? Can someone still come looking for me? or will they just wait for me to come back?

If you have not gone to trial, you clearly cannot be proven guilty, unless tried in absentia. This does not mean that the law finds you innocent. In fact, criminal law never finds someone innocent, just not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which is totally different.
Depending on your crime and what country you go to, you can be extradited to the United States to stand trial.

Depends on the crime. If it was severe, they'll seek extradition from the country to which you fled. If you stole a pack of gum, they won't look for you.

it depends on what the crime is,if you raped or murdered someone they will come get you,or if you stole a lot of money or something very valuable.
