The Meat Puzzle

After several months, Ducky and Jimmy finally start identifying the bodies in the meat puzzle they have been working on. It is not long before Ducky realises that the victims all played a part in a trial that he himself testified in: the court case of a would-be Medical Examiner named Vincent Hanlon who was accused of raping and murdering a young Navy Lt and was eventually jailed for eight years as a result. They soon discover that the dead men were involved in the case and it dawns on Gibbs that Ducky might be the next target as whoever has already carried out the gruesome killings is out for revenge against those who were involved in the case. Tony and Kate are assigned to protection detail which means safeguarding Ducky and his elderly mother, but Kate makes a split-second mistake which leads to Ducky being kidnapped from his home during the night. The team must race against time to find him before he ends up dead like all the other previous victims while Jimmy and Abby begin working together to uncover the truth and in turn uncover a surprising revelation: Vincent Hanlon who is thought to have died in a car crash is not actually dead as while the teeth matches Hanlon's, the body does in fact belong to someone else.
