What began as a quiet investigation into the disappearance of Nate Robinson has turned into a full-blown criminal case—and Tracy Robinson is right in the crosshairs. In a chilling twist on Emmerdale, DS Walsh and PC Makinson executed a search warrant on the Robinson home, uncovering Nate’s missing phone in the unlikeliest of places: the playhouse belonging to Tracy’s young daughter, Frankie.

Tracy, stunned and visibly shaken, denies any knowledge of how the phone got there. But the evidence keeps stacking. Despite her protests of innocence, police revealed they recovered messages and photos from the device—linking it beyond doubt to Nate. And then came the first major question: If Tracy didn’t put it there, who did?

Under interrogation at the station, Tracy stands her ground, claiming Nate left willingly and arranged for a mysterious removal man to take his belongings. But that story quickly crumbles. No removal company corroborates her account. No records of Nate booking a move. No witnesses besides Kane Dingle—who only saw a van driving away.

Pressed further, Tracy admits she used Nate’s credit card months after he was declared missing. Her justification? Providing for Frankie in the absence of her father. “Nate would’ve understood,” she insists. But the authorities don’t buy it—especially when Nate never gave that consent. Was it desperation… or deception?

Meanwhile, Kane Dingle explodes with fury. Convinced Tracy is the real killer, he confronts her in public. What begins as a tense exchange turns volatile as the grief-stricken father hurls accusations. “You planted Nate’s phone!” Tracy fires back, accusing Kane of framing her to divert suspicion. The scene erupts into chaos, echoing the pain of a family falling apart at the seams.

But Kane’s words strike a chord: “You’re the one who had his phone. You’re the one who’s guilty.” Is this the confession of a man consumed by vengeance, or a final act of desperation from the real killer?

For viewers, the emotional weight of this storyline is staggering. The loss of Nate has left a scar not just on Tracy and Kane, but on all of Emmerdale. And as more secrets are unearthed, the question lingers—what really happened to Nate Robinson?

With the Dingles torn, Tracy’s fate uncertain, and justice hanging in the balance, one thing is clear: Emmerdale is hurtling toward a courtroom showdown where no one will leave unscathed.
