I Faked My Own Death (2011)

Short of committing suicide, for some there's only one way out of a very bad situation: fake your own death. This series delves into the stories of six convicts and how their circumstances pushed them to take that final, extreme step over the edge. First-person, on-camera accounts (some from prison) and cinematic re-enactments reveal how the fakers planned and pulled off their elaborate "deaths," and police detectives tell how authorities pieced together the evidence to ultimately crack each case.
