They told him how the kids were upset that their family was moving to Hong Kong after their mother's promotion and wanted to go on one last hike. While Jayden and the other kids are experienced with the trail, Sara is an amateur and also has asthma. Colter meets with Luke Parsons, the head of the Search and Rescue. Since the trail is not too difficult, Colter feels that the children were going to a different spot, unbeknownst to their parents.A quick deep dive by Randy into Jayden and Sara's socials confirms that Colter's suspicions were right. Since Sara was obsessed with urban legends, she was researching an old train robbery involving $100,000 in coins. As the legend goes, the treasure is still buried in the Santa Cruz mountains and the children were after it. However, that part of the trail is dangerous and also closed as it's prone to landslides. While following that trail, Colter and Luke find one of the four kids, Charlie, wounded but alive.Tracker Season 3 Episode 5 recap: Colter meets an unfriendly group View this post on Instagram Instagram PostCharlie informs Colter and Luke how he fell and hurt his leg and the others have gone to get help. After he points in their direction, Colter's search in Tracker Season 3 Episode 5 gets hopeful. While Luke maintains that the path is dangerous, as there is an illegal and unfriendly community, Colter ignores his advice and continues on the dangerous path alone. On that trail, he finds Jayden's phone and learns that he was using a shady socials app to chat with somebody secretly. However, he is not able to get any more information because the area is off the grid and he calls Randy to the rescue.While Randy works to get information on Jayden's mysterious contact, Colter comes face-to-face with the illegal community of growers.
