Seven years before Day 1 in Baltimore, Maryland; Nicole Palmer was raped by Lyle Gibson, the 19-year-old son of attorney Franklin Gibson. That night, after hearing about what had happened, Nicole's brother, Keith, went to Gibson's apartment at Harbor Towers and confronted him. This confrontation escalated into a scuffle when Gibson pulled a knife on him; during the ensuing struggle, Gibson was thrown off the apartment balcony and fell to his death. An hour later, Keith went to an emergency room a block away and was treated for minor cuts and scratches.
