Nancy Carole Tyler

Who is Nancy Carole Tyler?

Nancy Carole Tyler was personal secretary to Bobby Baker. She was involved in a call girl procurement service in the early 1960s, which operated from a base at the Quorum Club, in Washington, D.C. Ellen Rometsch disclosed details of this service, which provided notable Washington people, such as members of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives, with access to prostitutes.

Formerly a secretary to George Smathers, she leaked to Baker information that then Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson might be dropped from the Kennedy ticket for the 1964 U.S. presidential election. Later, she refused to testify in the Senate Rules Committee investigation of Baker's business and political activities on Fifth Amendment grounds that it "might tend to incriminate."

Tyler died in May 1965 when a small private plane in which she was a passenger was lost over the Atlantic Ocean.
