I (Almost) Got Away With It is an American documentary television series on Investigation Discovery, it debuted on January 12, 2010.[1][2] 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.[3] Many others found a way to build a new life without committing new crimes and successfully remain in hiding for years.
The series was created by executive producer David M. Frank of Indigo Films. Most scenes were not filmed in areas that the stories took place. Many outdoor scenes in this series are filmed at the company's studio on Treasure Island in San Francisco, in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Other outdoor scenes were filmed in northern New Jersey.

A dozen witnesses were stunned in horror. A detective unit led by Zdan confirmed that Velasquez's murder was by Alfonso. Knowing police are after him, Alfonso left town and headed to Miami. There he took a bus to El Paso, Texas where he headed to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There he found a job as a bartender. Feeling that he's missing his family, he calls his sister, then she promptly told police that he's in Puerto Vallarta and FBI and Mexican authorities were sent to the restaurant to arrest Alfonso, but he left before detective arrived. He decides that Mexico is no longer safe for him and heads to Guatemala. He went to Guatemala City where he got a job in hotel security. Alfonso was caught doing drugs at the job and was fired by the boss, and he promptly stabbed the boss. Aware that there's a lot of violence in that city, he headed to Livingston, Guatemala, where he was jailed for nine months after not having any ID or passport. After he was released, he left the country by heading to Belize through the jungle and was stopped by an immigration officer, telling him he's from Cuba and was let go. Back in Wheaton, detectives decide to pass out fliers at an air crime show and put Alfonso in the top 10 most wanted. Alfonso heads to Veracruz, Mexico, where he gets a job at a bar and gets a girlfriend named Edith. A tip received by FBI from a man who knew Alfonso put police on a hot trail towards Alfonso's arrest. Alfonso went to a barbershop where the FBI caught him and sent him back to the United States.

He is caught while attempting to refinance his mortgage as the bank is suspicious of how he got such large amounts of money. He is sent to jail with bail set at $900,000. From inside the jail, he makes a phone call to the department of records posing as a judge and asking that his bail be reduced to $45,000. He then contacts a bail bondsman who gets him out. He pleads guilty and receives 40 years in prison. Once in prison, he sees that prisoners wear white scrubs and doctors wear green scrubs. He obtains an extra prison uniform and a large number of green highlighters and dyes the uniform green; he then approaches the security gate dressed in the green scrubs, and the guard, assuming he is a doctor, lets him out of the facility. He then knocks on the door to a random house and asks for a ride into town, saying he is a doctor. Once there, he hails a cab to a hospital an hour away, telling the cab driver he is a surgeon and he has to save a life. From there, he makes his way back to Morris, and the two head to Biloxi, Mississippi. A tip leads marshalls there, who capture him. Once he is returned, he fakes having AIDS and dying of the condition. He is released to a nursing home on medical parole, and once there, he obtains a blank death certificate, which he fills out with his name. He sends copies to the district attorney and his parole officer, convincing them he is dead and therefore off the radar. He then tries to free Morris by pretending to be a judge and having him transferred to another less secure prison, and then pretending to be an attorney and visiting him in prison. To get money, he approaches a bank pretending to be a millionaire and asking for a loan. The bank becomes suspicious and is about to call police. But he feigns a heart attack and gets rushed to the hospital, from where he escapes. He flees to Florida, where he is captured again. He is now serving 140 years in maximum security on 23-hour lockdown.
3-10 June 28, 2011 Got to Impersonate a Guard Dennis Wayne Hope is an employee at Albertsons in Dallas. He grows bored with his work, and comes up with a plan for easy money. He takes notice of the procedures followed by the armored guards who collect money from the store. Over a six-month period, he formulates a plan, where he studies pick-up times for cash at numerous Albertsons stores around the Dallas area other than the one where he works. He purchases a used plain white van, which he converts into a fake armored truck, and places the decals of a real one on. He also creates a fake uniform and badge. He enters an Albertsons 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled pick-up, and fools an employee into believing he is the guard. He then drives to another Albertsons and does the same. When he departs the second store, he hears on a scanner he is carrying that the first robbery has been reported. He proceeds to commit a third, and afterwards learns that the second has also been reported. At that moment, he quits for the day, and hides the van that was used. He continues to work at his Albertsons job for several more months until one day, he is fired. After that, he turns to armed robberies of other Albertson's stores. The identity of this serial robbery remains unknown to police until one day he boasts to his girlfriend. After his girlfriend breaks up, she reports him to police, and he is arrested. While being loaded into a van along with other inmates for transport to court, Hope escapes by loosening his shackles with a homemade handcuff key, and makes a mad dash from the loading area into nearby streets. He strips off his uniform down to his boxer shorts and continues to run. A police officer passing him stops, leading Hope to believe he is being caught. The officer is unaware of the escape and assumes he was a recent robbery victim, but Hope tells the officer he is training for a triathlon, and the officer believes him. Hope then heads to the home of a friend, where he spends the next week. After a week, he leaves to get fake ID, and an officer spots him driving. He leads officers on a high-speed chase and is captured. He is tried and sentenced to 80 years in prison. Once in prison, he makes plans to escape from the maximum-security institution. Along with two other inmates, they cut power to the prison, then scale the fences in the darkness of the night. The guards in the tower observe the escape and fire shots that all miss. The other two inmates are caught, but Hope evades the search team, running 14 miles to a convenience store the following morning. He observes a man leave his truck with the keys inside, then jumps into the truck and drives it to a suburb of Dallas, where it runs out of gas. He finds a jacket and a knife in the truck, and he uses the jacket to cover his uniform. He approaches an elderly man, whom he robs and carjacks. He gets $30 from the robbery, which he uses to buy civilian clothes. He then finds a gun in the truck and robs an Albertsons of $17,000, then drives to Memphis, where he abandons the stolen truck. He first checks in at a motel, and he uses some of the cash to buy a used car, and to rent an apartment. When his cash supply runs dry, he travels back to Dallas and robs three more Albertson's stores in the Dallas area that he robbed before, netting $100,000. He returns to Memphis to continue living his life, all while Dallas officers believe he is in the area. The first lead to his being in Memphis comes when the carjacked truck is found abandoned by Memphis police, and it is connected to Hope. Texas officers then come up with the theory that he is living in Memphis and commuting to Dallas to commit robberies. Inside the stolen truck, an ad is found in which a phone number for a car for sale is circled. The seller provides police with a number from his caller ID, which is traced to a motel. Hope has checked out of the motel by then, but the phone records at the motel reveal the phone has been used to call a meat packing plant. His girlfriend's sister works at that plant and is shocked to learn he is a fugitive. She invites him to a bar later that evening on the guise of it being a party, but agents stake it out and capture him there.

One day, he meets Christine Lefland, a single mother with a toddler named Emily, who also has legal problems for passing bad checks. Lefland has violated her probation and is at risk of losing custody of her daughter, which scares her. Alderman and Lefland fall in love, and decide to go on the run together. They move around between different towns until they reach Texarkana, where their car breaks down. They have no money. To get a car, Alderman takes Emily to a car dealership on the guise of test-driving a car, then never returns. They load up their belongings, place a stolen tag on the car, and cross state lines. By the time the car is reported stolen, they have already reached Little Rock. In a suburb of Little Rock, they are stopped by a police officer for reasons unknown. Alderman prepares to kill the unsuspecting officer to preserve his freedom. But the officer gets an urgent call, is spared his life, and the family is spared any problems. They then head west, camping a lot on their way, and burglarizing for a living. In one burglary, they steal a gun, which they try to sell at a pawn shop in Washington. The pawn shop owner runs the serial number, which leads to it being flagged as having been used in some homicides to which Alderman and Lefland have no connections. But the family flee as officers arrive and slip away undetected. They reach Swan Valley, Idaho, where they steal another car on the guise of a test-drive, and break into vacation homes, which in the winter are deserted. The homes provide them with food and other needs, including objects they steal and sell for cash. They switch vacation homes every few days. As Christmas nears, they return to their native Florida to be with family. They drop in at the home of Alfred Davis, a middle-aged man who is an old friend of Alderman's, and ask to stay for a few days. Davis invites them to stay, and boasts that he just received a $1000 cash bonus from work. Alderman gets the idea to rob Davis of this money. While Davis is asleep, Alderman takes the cash, which awakens Davis. The pair then subdue him with neckties, and stuff a sock into his mouth, then place duck tape around his mouth, thinking they are just restraining him long enough to get away. But the restraint kills Davis, leading to the pair being sought for homicide. With the stolen cash, the family heads to Georgia and spends the loot on Christmas gifts for Emily. They then head west again, planning to return to Idaho and break into more vacation homes. Meanwhile, with homicide being one of the charges, detectives get more serious about catching the pair. Lefland's mother gives detectives the tip that they are staying in Idaho. The detective calls the police in Idaho, and learns about the vacation home burglaries and the stolen car, thereby making the connection, and putting out an alert that they may return. On the way to Idaho, the couple stops in Reno, Nevada and get married. They then call Alderman's mother and tell her the news that they got married. She in turn tells them that Davis died, and they are the prime suspects. After hearing this news, they ditch the stolen car they have and steal another car out of a driveway. On their way to Idaho, this car breaks down, and they call a tow truck. The tow truck driver is aware of these fugitives, believes they match the description, and reports their tag number to police. The following night, Emily has a fever, and they are left with no choice but to stay at a motel, which they feel is dangerous. While at the motel, police show up to respond to an unrelated call. A neighborhood watchman sees the vehicle that matches the description and tells the officer. The officer calls for backup, which include a hostage negotiator, but police are unsure how to safely take down the fugitives. As hours pass during the night, they come up with the idea of staging a fake fire. Fire units are dispatched to the scene, and smoke grenades are released in the vicinity of the room to give the appearance of a real fire. The manager on duty calls Alderman's room to alert him to the fire and to evacuate immediately. As they evacuate, they are instantly snatched by awaiting officers. Both receive life sentences. Lefland commits suicide in prison. Emily is adopted by a loving family.

8-5 June 10, 2016 GOT to Escape With a Battleaxe Russell Kerr of Fort Worth TX meets up with Tammy and meets her in New Orleans. Tammy's brother pulls up and have Kerr to drive with a stash of goods to sell for $7000 until he pulls over with when one of the rear tires flatten and police car came up to him on foot, then cops arrested him and sentence him up to 60 years in maximum security for aggravated robbery he claims he didn't commit. While in prison he gets into tire shop where he meets with inmate Christopher Stout and discuss the plan to escape. He makes battleaxe and threatened the guard with a knife on the throat, duct taped him and locked him up. Then the men gets into the prison truck, first driving very slowly and then crank the speed up, running over the gates to freedom as guard holding a rifle on the tower watches them in shock (and interestingly inmates behind the fence were also shocked). Then few miles down the road, the prison alarm goes off and they had to abandon the truck in the barn and began trekking on foot. Soon, a barn owner finds the truck and calls the police and K9 unit. The guys find an abandoned warehouse to hide in. When Stout sees an owner leaves the house, he wakes Kerr up and went to the house, then the owner pulls up and finds that the front door is open. The owner went by next door and got a rifle, then the sheriffs pulls up and Kerr at the warehouse hides in the raptor of the ceiling as cops came in to look for them. Kerr emerges from the warehouse and began trekking on foot. He finds the train tracks and then the maintenance truck spotted him and cops pull up and began searching for him using K9. He buries in the ground with face exposed when police and K9 walk past him and he re-emerges when it gets dark. Then he sees cop cars with bright headlights on are there and he prepares to trek right through the line of fire. He managed to crawl across the street without cops in the cars spotting him. Kerr then stops by a bar on New Year's evening to enlist someone to ride him to town. After they prepare to take off, the cops block them, arrested Kerr and sent back to prison. While there he found out that Stout was arrested just hours before when a resident lets a dog in the yard, barks at Stout while hiding in tent made of truck cabin, then the owner calls the police to find him. Kerr spends the next 70 years in prison, most likely for rest of his life.

The police claimed he wore the masks and threatened the clerk with a knife and demanded her to give them money. While in trial, the 16-year old Nielson was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was booked to one of the most dangerous prisons in Florida and he got into fight with older inmates numerous times. Two years later, he was transferred to Florida Department of Corrections that has both maximum security side and minimum security side. He meets up with inmate Martin George and they both climb over the fence onto minimum security side. When it gets dark, they will climb over two more fences to freedom. But after hearing about two males climbing over the fence, they dashed for freedom. When Nielson climbed over the last fence, the guard started shooting at him and then get deeper into the words until the shots stopped. They then trekked through 40 miles of swamp and trekked to the beach where the saltwater ocean will wash the mud off his clothes. Then the police came, ID'd him and arrested George. Nielson ran from the beach until he was hit by a car drove by an offwhite-haired woman and then hitch-ride to her brother's house where he gives him his old coat and cash. He uses cash to take the bus back to his home state California. After arriving, his sister and his mother were shocked in relief that he's back. When they're having guests over, he meets up with Sharon and quickly falls in love. His mother then gives him a new alias from a magazine and his new name is Lonny Patterson. When he goes for a ride with his father in the red pickup truck, the father gets out, leaving him alone. Then the sheriffs came and arrested him and he was bailed out at $50,000. When he learns he got 24 hours till the court, he agrees with his girlfriend to not go there. One day, the police arrives at the door with Sharon alone at the house. She's desperate that they're looking at her or Nielson, so she hides in the bathroom and rains starts to pour. They go together to Hollywood often. While at the beach in Hollywood, he changes his last name to Donavon. Then he goes on a motorcycle that Sharon brought to him on the two-lane roadway and then got hit by a car while riding on the reverse side of the road at 82 mph.
