Homicide is typically one of the things that doesn't have a statute of limitations.

In some scenarios, SOL also starts from the discovery of the crime/tort, not the committing of it.

"the statute of limitations runs from the date the litigant obtains actual knowledge of the facts"

Which will (eventually) place the defendants here in the position of arguing that the plaintiffs should have known that the coverup was a lie.

Also I don’t know if civil suits would be subject to statues of limitation.

Civil torts definitely (can) have statutes of limitation; for example, you can only be sued for bad debt for a few years.
