Ep 3. Got a Dead Man's ID

In season 2 episode 3 of I Almost Got Away with It, titled Got a Dead Man's ID, viewers follow the story of convicted felon and escapee, Steven Ray Milam. Milam was serving a 15-year sentence for robbery in a Texas prison when he managed to escape, but not before taking a fellow inmate's ID.

With the dead man's ID, Milam was able to pose as the deceased inmate and make a break for freedom. Though he knew he'd be able to evade police for only a short time, Milam figured that the ID would buy him the time he needed to flee the state and start a new life under a new identity. He planned to change his name and slip off the grid, just as he had done before.

However, Milam's plan was not foolproof, and he quickly learned that posing as a dead man was a dangerous game. With every passing day, he risked getting caught and sent back to prison.

As Milam journeys through life as a fugitive, viewers see him change his appearance and undertake numerous illegal activities just to stay alive. From stealing cars and breaking into homes, to robbing convenience stores and dealing drugs, he does whatever it takes to stay a step ahead of the law.

Along the way, Milam meets his fair share of shady characters, including a woman who helps him change his appearance and a group of hardened criminals who take him under their wing. As he spends more time with these criminals, viewers see him spiral further and further out of control, with his illegal activities escalating to more violent crimes.

Despite his cautiousness and constant vigilance, Milam eventually attracts the attention of law enforcement, who are trailing him closely. Convinced that he is still using the dead man's ID, the authorities issue a manhunt for Milam, and it's only a matter of time before they catch up with him.

As the episode draws to a close, viewers see Milam cornered by police, his life as a fugitive at an end. He is arrested and convicted for his crimes, and as he sits in jail, he reflects on the choices that led him to this point.

Overall, I Almost Got Away with It season 2 episode 3 is a thrilling account of one man's risky decision to pose as a dead man in order to escape the law. Through interviews with Milam and those who knew him, as well as dramatic reenactments and news footage, viewers are taken on a wild ride through the highs and lows of a life lived on the run.
