The mystery of Ashton’s death continues, although the brothers reconciled
It is unknown who killed Ashton.
Colter Shaw has a complicated family history, dating back to one night in 2003. Without his wife present, Ashton took off running. He’s fueled by his paranoia, or at least that’s how Colter remembers it. In any case, Russell follows Ashton, and Colter finds their father Dead an hour later. For a long time, Colter believed that Russell pushed their father to his death, but Russell denied this. Given the tense background, the brothers reconciled when Russell appeared in Season 1, Episode 12.

It shows a sign to Colter’s mother as the suspect in his murder. But in any case, there is a lot more in store for the rest of Trackers supporting characters. This is especially true with the unexpected and unexplained departure of original cast member Robin Weigert, who played Teddy Brown.
