Jane is the daughter of former NCIS director Jenny Shepard. Hardly anyone knows that she exists or who her mother is. She lost her mother very young and when she was old enough for school she was shipped off to boarding school. She knew her mother meant well but she wished she wasn't at boarding school. Jane is currently dating Troy who is a naval officer who she thinks was involved with a another naval officers murder. She doesn't know what to do, she thought about going to the police but Troy would be furious and his temper is not something to mess with. She remembers that her mom would always talk about Gibbs and how good he is at his job so she goes and asks for his help. One thing she doesn't know is that Gibbs is actually her father.
