2012However, we agree with the holding in Kifer, 740 N.E.2d at 588-89 , that interpreting "evidence of the offense” to include any evidence, including evidence of guilt, would allow the exception to swallow the rule, tolling the statute of limitations in "nearly all crimes in which a defendant attempts to avoid apprehension.” Id. at 589 .
