Colter Shaw Searches for Missing Model in ‘Tracker’ Episode

WILLOW CREEK, Mich. — In the latest episode of ‘Tracker,’ season 2, episode 18, titled ‘Collision,’ Colter Shaw, played by Justin Hartley, races against time to find Riley Adams, a missing former model. The episode, which aired on April 27, 2025, highlights Colter’s expert tracking skills while unraveling a complex tale behind Riley’s disappearance.

The episode begins with Riley (Annalisa Cochrane) getting into a minor car accident while driving home from work. After she fails to return, her mother, Susanna (Reagan Pasternak), hires Colter, offering a $15,000 reward. Susanna fears for her daughter’s safety, recalling her recent return from New York, where Riley pursued a modeling career. During his investigation, Colter learns that Riley has been unusually secretive since moving back home.

Colter teams up with local Sheriff Katy (Mercedes De la Zerda) as they track down potential leads. Their search soon points to a stalker, revealed through clues collected from Riley’s friends and co-workers. He finds a romantic poem in Riley’s locker, hinting at an obsession that complicates the investigation. Amidst the growing tension, Colter discovers a connection to Vincent Rourke (Christopher Russell), a club owner from New York who had been in contact with Riley.

As the investigation unfolds, it is discovered that Riley is five months pregnant with Vincent’s child. His attempts to reach her are repeatedly ignored, prompting concern. Colter learns that Riley’s co-worker, Cheryl (Summer Lynn Gillespie), displayed obsessive behavior, leading to a shocking discovery when Cheryl is found dead in her home, with a message scrawled above her body declaring that Riley belongs to her.

Colter deduces that Cheryl was manipulated into framing herself for Riley’s disappearance. The investigation leads to the Harper couple, Monica (Hayley McFarland) and Tyler (Tom Stevens), who have suffered miscarriages and have gone to extreme lengths to have a child of their own. Colter races against time to locate Riley, who is being held against her will.

In a tense climax, Colter finds Monica threatening Riley and manages to diffuse the situation, leading to Monica’s arrest. The episode ends on a hopeful note as Riley is safely returned to her mother, and Detective Douglas expresses appreciation for Colter’s guidance during the case.

‘Collision’ deftly blends suspense with character development, while revealing deeper personal layers of its main characters. As the season progresses, the unresolved arcs concerning Colter and Reenie (Fiona Rene) remain, tantalizing fans for future episodes.
