Don’t you have to provide some personal data to use an AirTag? Like Apple ID, which would include some location data or IP addresses? If so, then I imagine you also can be found by law enforcement if someone find an AirTag on them.

Why would anyone use an AirTag for stalking given that it could be traced back to you?

I reccon you dont leave it on the body after completing the murder

Well, given that the AirTag will alert stalking victims of its presence there is a high chance the person finds it.
