What happened in the concluding episode of Tracker season 1?
A shocking revelation was made in the concluding episode of Tracker season 1 which left Colter Shaw shaken to his core. While tracking Lizzy Hawking's daughter, Katie, Colter learned several things from her about his family which had remained hidden till then.
From Lizzy, who was Colter's family friend, he learned that Lizzy's mother and his father were having an affair. He also learned that his father had left behind a collection of documents with Lizzy's mother just before he had died. These documents were then passed on to Dory, Colter's younger sister, by Lizzy, following her mother's death.
The revelation raised questions in the mind of Colter as he had no knowledge about the documents until then. This gave him the impression that his sister was hiding something from him. This also made him think that his brother Russell had no part in the death of their father and that other people had clear motives for killing him.
