I (Almost) Got Away With It premiered on ID on January 12, 2010. For these perpetrators, their stories may be different, but their motives are always the same to stay out of prison and live life on the lam. The people profiled in I (Almost) Got Away With It evaded justice for years, sometimes decades, by using their families, fake identification and even violence to avoid capture. Viewers learn how law enforcement uses all means necessary to capture these fugitives. Additionally, each episode features an interview from prison with these slick culprits, who spill where they found shelter, how they changed their identities and how they almost got away with it.
