On the boat, the team finds footage of Anna pointing a gun, which further incriminates the admiral's daughter. Upon further investigation they find out that she has been in debt, but she has started paying off all her debts a few weeks before her disappearance.
Borin and Pride find some antique coins on the boat, and it seems as though any research has not taken place—instead, a treasure hunt has been going on and everyone on board has been in on it. The admiral tells them that he received a text message from Anna telling him not to let her son grow up hating her.
Later, the team finds out that someone has been selling the antique coins online, and they find out that it was Anna's professor who committed the crime. She wanted to make some money, and she had her grad students do all the work. When they refused to go along with her scheme, she killed them all. The professor confessed where she had thrown Anna's body overboard.
"NCIS: New Orleans" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on CBS.
