Do not say anything to the police. Hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to speak on your behalf.

You have the right to remain silent. Only idiots talk to investigators/cops. Remember, no matter what you say it will be twisted around and used against you later.

You should hire a lawyer. You should not talk to the police. You should certainly not talk to the police without a lawyer, who will probably advise you not to answer the cops questions.

See an attorney with the details. It would appear the case is generally too old to prosecute but there are exceptions. Do not speak to anyone, especially the authorities, without counsel. They are NOT your friends.
