(New York, NY) - In the spring of 2018 over the course of just 34 days, a young woman and man went missing, and another young man was murdered in Bakersfield, California. While initially thought to be tragic but unconnected events, a string of coincidences unearthed by the victims' mothers led to the realization that these three cases were entangled with one another. Desperate for answers, they banded together in their unyielding quest for the truth, dubbing their children's death and disappearances as "The Bakersfield 3." Now, this three-part docuseries charts the mothers' journey as they navigate through a labyrinth of clues, dead ends, and unexpected revelations to find out what really happened to their children - and how exactly they were connected. As they uncover disturbing allegations, their newfound bond is put to the ultimate test. THE BAKERSFIELD 3: A TALE OF MURDER AND MOTHERHOOD will premiere on Sunday, May 11 from 8-11pm ET/PT on ID and will stream on Max.

After Di Byrnes' son James was gunned down, Di's determination to find answers led her to Cheryl Holsonbake, whose son Micah had disappeared within days of James's murder. As the two joined forces looking for answers, they discovered another mother in the community, Jane Parrent, who was frantically searching for her missing daughter, Baylee. Each of their children vanished under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions, unimaginable grief, and one mysterious connection to unravel: they all knew each other. As the months went on and the investigation evolved, authorities uncovered Micah's remains, leading to a shocking question in the case: was one of the Bakersfield 3 responsible for the other's murder?
