On Season 16, episode 20 of the show, which aired on April 16, the NCIS team was called on to investigate the murder of a Marine Major.
Her remains had been found at a construction site, leading to the involvement of NCIS. The twist is that she was believed to have been killed in the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. Gibbs (Mark Harmon) also had a personal history with the victim.
