I Almost Got Away with It is a true crime television series that tells the stories of criminals who narrowly evaded capture. In season 1 episode 1, titled "Got Remarried," we are introduced to Michael Hess, a career criminal who had spent most of his adult life in and out of prison.

Michael had been married to his wife, Brenda, for many years, but the two had grown apart as Michael continued his life of crime. While he was incarcerated, she had divorced him and moved on with her life. But Michael was determined to win her back.

After being released from prison, Michael embarked on a crime spree across the Pacific Northwest, robbing banks and convenience stores in several different states. He eluded law enforcement for months, but eventually he was caught and sentenced to over 20 years in prison.

While behind bars, Michael became increasingly desperate to win Brenda back. He wrote her letters and made phone calls, but she refused to speak to him. Finally, Michael came up with a plan to get her attention.

He arranged to have a wedding ceremony in the prison courtyard, and invited Brenda to attend. She was hesitant at first, but eventually agreed to come. Michael was overjoyed to see her again, and he pulled out all the stops to make the ceremony as romantic as possible.

After the wedding, Michael began to write to Brenda again, and she started to respond. They rekindled their relationship, and Brenda agreed to wait for Michael while he served out his sentence. He promised her that this time he would turn his life around and be the husband she always wanted him to be.

But Michael's good intentions didn't last long. He soon fell back into his old ways, committing more crimes and leading a gang of inmates in a violent attack on a prison guard. He was charged with new crimes and sent to a high-security prison in Colorado.

Despite everything, Brenda remained loyal to Michael. She visited him regularly and continued to support him financially. But eventually, her patience ran out. Michael's behavior had become increasingly erratic, and he had even threatened her. She realized that she needed to cut ties with him for good.

In the end, Michael never did get away with his crimes. He died in prison, a broken and defeated man. But his story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsession and the high cost of a life of crime.
