Lyle Gibson was the 19-year old white male who attacked and raped Nicole Palmer seven years prior to Day 1. On learning of the attack, Nicole's brother Keith confronted Lyle. Gibson pulled a knife, but in the ensuing struggle he fell off a balcony to his death.

With the help and knowledge of Sherry Palmer and Carl Webb, the death was covered up as a suicide, and Keith's part in it remained secret until George Ferragamo revealed the truth to reporter Maureen Kingsley. This incited Webb and two of Palmer's political supporters, Phil Tuttle and Bob Jorgensen, to have Ferragamo killed in a fire and to destroy evidence in a conspiracy to protect Palmer's chance for the Democratic Presidential candidacy.
