Williamson County
"I think it just gives us options now where it didn't before," Lt. Jason Braeutigam with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office said."As it stands right now, if you were to move a corpse or get rid of a murder weapon or something like that, if it's been over three years, we can't charge you with anything," Det. Mary Lewis with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office said.
"I think it would make a huge impact on the families of the victims in our cases because they oftentimes don't get justice," she said."Once the case goes cold, generally what we'll try to do is we'll try to just start from the beginning again. We're going to start from step one and go all the way through those steps again until we get to an end," Braeutigam said.
"With no statute of limitations in place, we can now go back on these cases, and now we have something to charge or potentially charge. And with that, we could use that to talk to somebody that we think might be involved," he said.
