I (Almost) Got Away With It is an American documentary television series on Investigation Discovery, debuting on January 12, 2010. The series profiles true stories of people who have committed crimes, and have avoided arrest or capture, but ultimately end up being caught. Many of these people escaped from prisons after being sentenced while others escaped jails they were being held in while awaiting trial. Sometimes they are on the run as little as a few weeks before being caught while other times they remain on the run for years and in a few cases even decades. While on the run, some of the fugitives do anything from robbing gas stations to stealing Crystal Gayle's tour bus. Many others found a way to build a new life without committing new crimes and successfully remain in hiding for years.
