In the blistering summer heat, Cheryl Holsonbake found herself driving two hours from her home to California’s rural Kern County, where she would search with her “bare hands” any land that appeared like a shallow grave.

The matriarch was joined by two other mothers in search of answers for their children.

“We took shovels and looked for my son there,” Holsonbake recalled to Fox News Digital. “I would think if I could just search with my own hands and find him, I could bring him home. I could bring him back to his family. That’s what we would do on weekends.”

Today, the surviving “Bakersfield 3” moms are urging anyone with information to come forward.

“We need people to think to themselves, ‘Could this tip help a mom find her daughter, find a shallow grave?’ ‘Would I want someone to do this for me?’” said Holsonbake. “Just come to us. We’ll sit and listen to you, because I’ll always be searching. We’ll take it from there.”

“The Bakersfield 3: A Tale of Murder and Motherhood” premieres May 11th at 8 p.m. on ID and will stream on Max.
