Plot Synopsis

Some people evade justice for years, sometimes decades, by using their families, fake identification and even violence to avoid being captured. Their whole goal in life is to stay out of prison and live on the lam -- even as law enforcement uses all means necessary to capture them. And these perpetrators avoided prison. Well, for a while anyways. During prison interviews you'll find out how they ALMOST got away with their crimes -- where they found shelter, how they changed their identities, and how they stayed one step ahead of the law for many years. I (ALMOST) GOT AWAY WITH IT returned for its sixth season on Monday, June 24, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT on Investigation Discovery, with an episode chronicling the life of a man who escaped from jail twice following his arrest for killing his stepfather. Investigation Discovery broadcast the Season 7 premiere of I (ALMOST) GOT AWAY WITH IT on Monday, June 2, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT. The season opener chronicled the case of David Corbin, a career criminal, who left prison and launched a crime wave -- stealing cars and selling them for a profit -- until a jealous girlfriend ratted him out. Season 8 of I (ALMOST) GOT AWAY WITH IT premiered on Friday, May 13, 2016 at 10pm ET/PT on Investigation Discovery. In the season opener, "Got to Pretend to Be a Cop," Peter Gibbs is a career criminal who is constantly lured to the dark side after every prison release, despite vowing to go straight. After a string of robberies catches up to him, he faces decades behind bars but refuses to go down without a fight.
