Prosecutors failed to file charges within a 48-hour window in the high-profile slaying of a 17-year-old Moreno Valley girl.
Norma Lopez was found dead in a partially vacant field in Moreno Valley in July 2010. She disappeared on her way home from summer school.
Last Thursday, police arrested 35-year-old Jesse Perez Torres in Long Beach.
On Monday, the window to charge Torres expired, according to the Riverside County District Attorney's office.
Prosecutors are continuing to review the case and a final filing decision has not been made, according to the DA.
Torres was released and then immediately re-arrested, said Riverside County Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Angel Ramos. Torres remains in custody.
