Once the regular cops can't get any further they call in a real expert, typically an extremely pale lady who looks like she's in constant agony.

Sometimes letting a case go inactive can allow new leads to pop up solely because it hasn't been receiving a lot of attention.

Also, new investigative techniques emerge, such as DNA testing.

Ask the judge for the castration option.

I wanna say 7 years I think? I'm not positive, but i believe the Statute of Limitations prohibits any charges being brought on people for a crime committed 7 years before. But you can check me on that.

All,
ok, look im not talking about a statute of limitations. i know that murder cases stay open forever.

lets pretend THERE IS NO EVIDENCE. Not a single shred. The person is NOT going to be caught. How long does it take the police to admit, ok we're stumped, we apologize, we're leaving the case open but will no longer actively pursuing this investigation.

Also, if you are going to give me a serious response, could you please explain how you know this? I've seen just as many cop shows and movies as everyone else and I can blindly speculate too.

Sorry for the annoyed tone,
Funk

Your question doesn't have a clear-cut answer. It depends on the profile of the victim, unusual circumstances of the crime, which jurisdiction is involved, socio-economic factors relating to the crime scene and so on.

To give you a real-world example. In 1986 Olof Palme, Sweden's prime minister was murdered on a Stockholm street. Initially there were literally hundreds of Swedish police officers working on the case, quite the manpower allocation for a small country. Some suspects were apprehended, but no one was conclusively found guilty. The case has remained in a semi-active state with Swedish police interviewing people as recently as 2001, once again finding no conclusive evidence of anything. In summary, the prime minister was murdered and the case became dormant after three or four years. Now imagine some random drug dealer or what not being gunned down. I imagine this investigation wouldn't last much more than a few months.
