Tracker season 2 episode 8 aired on December 1, 2024, on CBS. The Fall finale of Tracker season 2 was titled The Night Movers and featured Colter Shaw tracking down a ghost identity. On the other hand, a major breakthrough came forward in the cold case of Gina Picket. Colter also meets up with Gina's sister and his previous love interest Camille, who wants to move on with her missing sister's memory.

Tracker is a procedural show that centers on Colter Shaw as he is thrown into the mix often hunting for and locating missing characters. These characters are at times involved in certain conspiracies while at other times they have met with a violent fate.

During the course of investigating the disappearance of Lucas Jones on the most recent episode of Tracker, Colter uncovers a local operation whose sole job is to disappear people and give them new and supposedly untraceable identities.

In a way, the operation led by a character called Barbie Lee serves as a foil to Colter's work. While one of the operations disappears people in their times of need, Colter takes it upon himself to uncover the truth of missing persons. Here's everything we know about the episode.


Colter Shaw investigates the disappearance of Lucas Jones on Tracker season 2 episode 8

The missing case involving Lucas Jones falls into Colter's lap after he and his aide Bobby discover that the computer repair store where Lucas worked is actually a front for something else.

The bizarre element of this case on Tracker was accentuated by the fact that despite Lucas, presumed to have died in an automobile accident, was recently suspected to have returned to his former workplace in a break-in. His girlfriend and coworker further revealed that she had interacted with an online persona on a World of Warcraft gaming portal that somehow weirdly reminded her of him.

Tracker Colter soon gets to work and finds footage that confirms it was indeed Lucas himself who broke into his former workplace. So he's not dead after all! Colter then enlists the help of a police detective to discover footage from the aforementioned car crash that showed Lucas not being fatally wounded.

Colter also located another man in the footage who looked suspicious, and in his attempt to track him down, Colter ended up at the door of a local bodega.

Upon reaching the bodega, Lucas discovered that the man was dead and his widow Barbie was at hand. He eventually realized that the bodega business was responsible for making people disappear in times of crisis.

It is subsequently revealed that Lucas was tasked with erasing the hard drive of an influential real estate magnate and mayoral candidate Tim Crosby, when he found extremely incriminating evidence.

Prior to his disappearance, Lucas was working in conjunction with a YouTube and the two were trying to blow the lid off this controversy. Sadly, the YouTuber ended up dead.


A new lead in a decade-old cold case on Tracker season 2 episode 8

The case of Gina Picket's disappearance has haunted Colter for the better part of a decade, as was revealed in the premiere of Tracker season 2. During the latest episode of the show, a major lead in this direction came forth when retired cop Keaton called Colter to inform him that he had one Alex in his custody.

Alex was a suspect and was held by Keaton in his basement. He eventually revealed that he knew Frank Whales and that Whales had lured Gina into a farm where someone known as 'The Teacher' used to 'plant things'
