In Colorado, aside from serious charges like murder or kidnapping, most felony charges have a three-year statute of limitations.

Well..... That's kinda crazy. I feel like a lot of investigations take longer than three years. Hell there's places in the US that have like a decades worth of rape kits police are ignoring.

Except if the crime was done against the rich/powerful, then it all gets done in 3 years or much less, including the media outcry and even finding a scapegoat if need be.

The system is designed to not waste resources on non-rich vs non-rich crimes whilst also providing an additional option for when the rich are the perpetrators (in case it gets that far).
