This website says this only goes back 10 years, so it would only cover a limited period.

A FOIA request might show entries for the 1990s but it might not have exits for 1996. Exit data was not transmitted to CBP from airlines until mid-2000s. US biometric exit verification was only implemented very recently.

Your mother probably needs a waiver, which is usually filed after the CO finds her inadmissible due to entry without inspection (EWI). The evidence for this is likely a bit more involved. I would venture to guess this is not DIY and requires an immigration attorney with a positive track record with waivers.
