How did season 1 of Traces end?

WARNING: Contains major spoilers from Traces season 1.

It was finally revealed in the season finale who killed Emma’s mum Marie.

Everyone was left shocked as the team found out it was Daniel’s dad Phil MacAfee who was the murderer.

They had known each other when they were younger and he was seeing Marie’s friend Izzy Alessi at the time, despite being married to Daniel’s mother.

When they bumped into each other, Marie told Phil off for messing her friend around.

Phil didn’t take this well and ended up murdering Marie.

But thanks to Emma’s digging, a crucial piece of evidence was found linking him to the crime as evidence of both of their DNA was found on a boot dug up near here body.

The series ended with Emma being reunited with Daniel at her mum’s funeral and the pair getting back together.
