(Silver Spring, MD) - For these perpetrators, the stories may be different, but the 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. 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. The third season of I (ALMOST) GOT AWAY WITH IT starts Tuesday, April 12 at 10 PM ET on Investigation Discovery, kicking off with the following six episodes and an additional seven episodes starting Tuesday, May 31.

Gay is known for his continual escapes from prison and his unusual choice in escape vehicles - everything from 18-wheelers to RVs to, most famously, country singer Crystal Gayle's tour bus. When Gay is arrested, he escapes during a prison transport and attempts to visit his dying mother hundreds of miles away.

McClarty goes on the run from state to state as he defrauds banks, stores and people. All McClarty wants is money, cars, drugs and women, and does anything to get them, but none of these desires can protect him when a SWAT team breaks down his door with a warrant for his arrest.
