I'm not a Tennessee lawyer. Some internet research suggests to me that the law in your state allows at least 2 years for filing of any felony charge.
You need to talk to an attorney about this. One place to find counsel in your area is our website, http://attorneypages.com
There are a number of questions your lawyer will want to ask, because it's very clear that there is a lot more to this than you've been able to fit into the question.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
