Turns out John Baron the First brought gold back from Australia and hid it on the property. That’s why Brad Costa was in on it but they killed him off once they figured out he was orchestrating a plan to acquire the property. He, Tanner and Swanson were killed to implicate John Baron so they could search the property. Babbot was killed because he’d snooped and figured out where Ted was hiding the drugs.

Jasmine was the girl whose skeleton was found in the moss.
Maddocks has Kjel working with Leo because he suspects him of being a dirty cop and wants him to see if it’s true.
Shelley Tollet had Jasmine’s journal and gave it to Angie. It had detailed Jasmine having sex with Garrison but she tore out those pages. However, the contents disclosed that Jasmine’s secret lover was Doug Hart. Eden read the journal and then took a log out to where Jasmine was fishing. She hit her, causing Jasmine to fall. Rachel was filming and saw the whole thing. She at first went to help Jasmine but then changed her mind. Turns out that Eden had murdered her brother, too. She developed into a serial killer, having killed at least one other person, her husband’s ex.
Axel was gang raped when he was 13-years old by bully Porter Bates and his friends. Wally killed Porter with help from the twins while Garrison watched out for them. Wally killed Axel when Angie figured out Axel might have abducted Jasmine as he thought he’d blab. When Angie and Holgerson got there, she discovered Annalise being held in one of the containers. Turns out, Axel was the serial abductor in the white van.
Axel actually rescued Jasmine from the river and then kept her captive as his sex provider until he realized she was pregnant. A couple of months after she had the baby, she tried to escape and Axel accidentally killed her. He gave the baby, Claire, to his cousin Garrison and Shelly. They had no idea he’d held Jasmine captive all those months. He threatened to tell about Porter Bates if they didn’t help him and keep quiet.
Wally and Garrison tried to kill Angie and Annalise who were saved by Claire and Jacobi. Holgerson was shot in the neck with an arrow but survived. (hide spoiler)]
