The prosecuting state asks for the indicted person to return within a reasonable timeframe and face their allegations
The indicted person flees the country
The end

Much be nice to be rich where you do crime, go anywhere you want, and escape the punishment. No federal no-fly list to be put on because it's all state charges.

Uh, yeah... I guess? Step 2 is doing a lot of heavy lifting because states can and do extradite internationally. There's a whole federal office which exists for this specific purpose: the OIA. It's hardly a "happily ever after" situation to spend the rest of your life far away from home and constantly looking over your shoulders.
