The February 11 premiere of Tracker introduces This Is Us veteran Hartley as Colter Shaw, a lone survivor who roams the country and uses his expert tracking skills to help private citizens and law enforcement solve all sorts of mysteries… all while struggling with his own broken family.
That’s where things get interesting.
Flashbacks reveal that Colter and his siblings — including an older brother, Russell, and a younger sister, Dory — had an unusual childhood. Their parents, Ashton and Mary (played by Oz’s Lee Tergesen and Good Sam’s Wendy Crewson), “were professors at Berkeley until the incident with my dad,” Colter explains. “So he took us to live in isolation at this cabin. Actually, it was a compound near the Sierra National Forest,” where Ashton “started talking about people trying to get him and how we all had to be prepared. He taught us how to track, how to hunt, and how to free climb at this place called Devil’s Notch.”
One night in 2003, when Mary wasn’t home, Ashton’s paranoia got the better of him and he ran away, leaving his three children behind. Russell chased him, and an hour later, Colter found his father dead, at the bottom of Devil’s Notch. It appears he had been pushed by Russell.
Russell has since tried to contact Colter. It seems like there’s something Colter “needs to know.” However, Mary—who hasn’t appeared since Episode 2—wants Colter to ignore her brother’s pleas. (Update: Jensen Ackles has been cast as Russell now, and will make his debut in the May 12 episode.)
So far, there’s been no mention of Dory in the timeline.
