On CBS’s NCIS: Origins, viewers want to discover who killed Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ family members. The NCIS spin-off follows young Gibbs’s formative years in the 1990s, when he began working as a special agent at the NCIS Camp Pendleton headquarters. In addition, it emphasizes his secrets, hardships, and difficulties that helped mold him into the character he played in the first NCIS.
How and by whom were the wife and daughter of Leroy Jethro Gibbs murdered in NCIS: Origins?
The deaths of Gibbs’ wife and daughter in a car accident were caused by Pedro Hernandez, a member of the Reynosa Cartel.
In NCIS Season 3, the specifics of Gibbs’ family members’ deaths were made public.
Shannon, Gibbs’ wife, watches Pedro Hernandez kill a Marine in the show. She chooses to speak up instead of sitting silently, though. Her and her daughter Kelly’s lives are in jeopardy because she intends to testify against Hernandez in court.
An NIS agent is hired to protect them because their lives are under danger. However, the agent was shot as they were driving, which resulted in an automobile accident. Sadly, Shannon and Kelly also lose their lives in the collision. Gibbs is furious and wants to make amends with Pedro after learning of their passing.
He kills Pedro with a sniper rifle and conceals his murder from everyone, as was previously disclosed in the same season. In the most recent NCIS: Origins episode, “Vivo o Muerto,” his past with Pedro quietly reappears. Here, the team travels to Mexico in order to solve the case of a woman who vanished after going out with a Navy Seaman.
As they look into it, they learn that Reynosa Cartel might be involved, which connects the case to Gibbs’ history. Despite the woman’s rescue, Lala admits her guilt and says she ought to have brought charges against Pedro sooner. To prevent Lala from losing faith in him, Gibbs, however, keeps his secret to himself and doesn’t reveal that he had already slain Pedro.
