The Curse

Gibbs and the team are called in when a mummified lieutenant, who was believed to have absconded with 1.2 million dollars of stolen Navy funds ten years previously and later receieved a dishonourable discharge for allegedly deserting his position, is found in a half-buried cargo pod with Navy markings on it. Two former shipmates who serve with the deceased come under suspicion for both the murder and the theft. Gibbs and Tony work at investigating the murder, while Kate is charged with tracking down the missing funds although she is more devoted to ensuring the dead Lt's former wife and young daughter receive his death benefits. Abby uses a computer reconstruction to work a confession out of a possible suspect.
