Brennan's parents disappeared when she was fifteen. She assumed they were dead. In the finale of the first season, they examine a skeleton from limbo, surprised to learn it is in fact Brennan's mother. They investigate her death, calling in Russ, Brennan's brother in the process. Booth discovers that Brennan's mother was not living under her real name, but an assumed identity Christine Brennan, her name was Ruth Keenan. Hodgins discovers a movie ticket of The Fugitive proving that Ruth was still alive in 1993, two years after she disappeared. This convinces Brennan that her parents did indeed abandon her. They discover her parents were part if a bank-robbing group, the reason for them living under different names. They discover that a hitman Vince McVicar, struck her mother on the head causing a subdural hematoma.Bleeding in the brain. Death would not be instantaneous, explaining why Ruth didn't die until two years after the injury. He did this because the bank-robbing crew asked him to, when Max and Ruth ran out on them. After this event, Brennan's parents can never go back to Brennan and Russ for fear of putting them in danger.

Hope this helps you to understand.

In episode 15 of season 1 Bones is examing remains that are found buried and is stunned to learn that it is her mother's body. However, she didn't die immediately after she left Bones as a 15 year old but was killed later. Bones suspects her father is the murderer but when she and Booth investigate they find that Bones mother was killed by one of the bank robbing gang that Bones parents were involved with.

Bones' mother (real name Ruth Keenan, known under the assumed identity of Christine Brennan) was murdered in 1993, two years after she and her husband went on the run (it is later revealed that her parents, who were bank robbers, changed the family's identity after they testified against some other bank robbers) :D
