THE NCIS TEAM INVESTIGATES THE DEATH OF A MARINE INTELLIGENCE OFFICER FOUND IN A RURAL MOTEL ROOM, ON "NCIS," TUESDAY, JAN. 16, 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT

"Suspicion" -- The NCIS team investigates when a high-level Marine intelligence officer is found murdered in a small town motel room, on NCIS, Tuesday, Jan. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Colin Bucksey directed the episode from a script by Shane Brennan.

Gibbs and the team rush to the scene of the crime, only to discover that the murder took place three days earlier and was "investigated" by the local authorities. As the case unfolds, the NCIS team discovers evidence of a potential terrorist cell, but Gibbs is wary since small town biases seemed to sway the initial investigation.
