Spoiler Alert for Tracker seasons 1 & 2It was easy to miss Tracker season 1, with one comment proving his loyalty.

It makes sense that Colter has thought about Gina and Camille throughout the story. Gina's mysterious disappearance goes unsolved in tandem with what happened to Colter's father on Tracker, which has gone unanswered since the season 1 premiere. Heading into the second half of Tracker season 2, it looks like Gina's case could finally round a vital corner as Colter prepares to team up with Keaton again. This development could resolve Gina's story, which emerged in season 1, episode 9.

Colter Mentions Gina Picket's Cold Case In Tracker Season 1, Episode 9

Colter Investigates A Cold Case In Aurora, Vermont

In Tracker's first season, Colter Shaw investigates a cold case similar to Gina Picket's disappearance, and it causes him to subtly bring up Gina's case. When working together, a local law enforcement officer who previously worked on Lana Russo's case, Detective Helen Brock, asks Colter if there are any cold cases he "can't quit" investigating despite a lack of progress. Colter remarks that there's one case he can't quit, in addition to the death of his father. Although it isn't connected in Tracker season 1, Colter's remark references Gina Picket's case.

Detective Helen Brock: "You have any cases you can't quit?"

Colter Shaw: "One. From when I first started this job. And the death of my father."

In Tracker season 1, episode 9, "Aurora," Colter looks for a missing teenage girl named Lana Russo after her father believes he sees a picture of his daughter in the local newspaper. The emotional reunion is one of the best of the show's run when Colter follows the clues to reunite Lana with her father after three long years. However, Colter in Tracker season 1 fails to highlight why the cold case is so significant to him. The whole picture doesn't come into view until Tracker season 2, and even then, it's subtle.

Why Tracker Season 2 Needs To Solve Gina Picket's Case Sooner Rather Than Later

Colter Needs To Move On

Colter needs to tie up Gina's case sooner rather than later so that he can move on and figure out what happened regarding his father's mysterious death. Colter's interest in Gina's case has overshadowed his involvement in Ashton Shaw's mystery in season 2. The tracker uncovered vital details in his family mystery at the end of Tracker season 1, but Colter has yet to follow up on those developments in the show's sophomore outing. While drawing out Colter's mystery somewhat makes sense, season 1 did a better job of sprinkling Colter's family into the narrative.

Fortunately, Colter's Gina Picket case could come to a head early in 2025.

Fortunately, Colter's Gina Picket case could come to a head early in 2025, with the Tracker season 2 midseason premiere synopsis promising Colter will progress in his white whale case. Colter's potential conflict with Teacher behind him means he can refocus on what happened to his father. After finding answers for Camille about what happened to her sister, the progress could encourage Colter to seek a resolution to his family's mystery, including his mother and sister's mysterious involvement. That would be good news for Justin Hartley's show heading into the back half of Tracker season 2.
