Can Colter Shaw trust anyone heading into Season 2 of CBS‘ Tracker?
The Season 1 finale would have us believe that even Melissa Roxburgh’s Dory has been keeping pertinent information from Colter regarding their dead father, Professor Ashton Shaw — who, as we learned in Episode 11, spent several years working as a government contractor before he took his family to live off the grid and grew more and more paranoid.

For two decades, Colter believed that his older brother, Jensen Ackles’ Russell, pushed Ashton to his death. Following Dad’s demise, Dory went to live with an Uncle Dave and Aunt Melissa, and Mary urged Russell to leave home. Since then, Mom had done nothing to dissuade Colter that his older brother was responsible for Ashton’s fatal fall. In fact, she insisted that Colter ignore Russell’s calls.

It wasn’t until Episode 12, when the Brothers Shaw were reunited for the first time since 2003, that Russell shared his truth with Colter.
“I don’t know if he fell, or if somebody else pushed him, but I do know that there was somebody else in those woods that night,” he said. “Dad had enemies…. He was a crazy son of a bitch.”
