BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Bakersfield was rocked in the spring of 2018 when over the course of 34 days, a young man and woman went missing while another man was murdered. The investigations showed that what initially looked like random acts turned out to be connected.
Mysteries behind the events are being re-examined in a three-part miniseries – “The Bakersfield 3: A Tale of Murder and Motherhood” – that will be broadcast starting at 8 p.m. May 11 on the cable channel Investigation Discovery (ID) and the streaming service Max.
Olivia LaVoice was a member of the KGET, Channel 17, news team at that time and much of her reporting is featured in the new three-part offering. She recalls thinking numerous times while covering the story that “truth is stranger than fiction.”
