TRUTH COMES OUT TUESDAY: Caleb Eyde: The Tattoo, the Red Flags & 217,331 Files on His Phone

21-year-old Independence, Missouri substitute teacher Caleb Eyde is facing federal charges—but the arrest is only part of this story.In this Truth Comes Out Tuesday deep dive, Red Flags & Body Bags goes back before the federal case.More than two years before his arrest, Eyde posted publicly about getting a tattoo containing the initials of children he knew through an A+ mentoring program. He wrote about seeing the children every day, thinking about them “night and day,” and said the experience helped lead him toward becoming a teacher.But after RFBB covered that tattoo, people who say they knew, worked with, or encountered Eyde began speaking up.In this investigation, we examine:• Eyde’s 2024 tattoo post and what he said it represented• His path from the A+ program toward teaching• His reported work as an Independence School District substitute• Viewer accounts involving Kids’ Safari and before/after-school programs• Firsthand claims from people who say aspects of his behavior concerned them before his arrest• An unverified allegation that concerns were previously reported to district leadership• The cyber tips involving Discord that led investigators to Eyde• The June 30, 2026 search of his home• The 217,331 image files investigators reportedly located on his phone• The nearly eight-week period between the search and the public federal case• What the Independence School District told families• And the questions that still have not been answeredIf you worked with Caleb Eyde, had a child in a school or program where he worked, or have documentation related to this timeline, contact Red Flags & Body Bags privately. Please do not identify children in the comments.And I want to hear from you:What part of Caleb Eyde’s pre-arrest timeline deserves the most scrutiny?If this investigation raises questions you think other parents or community members should see, **like the video, share it, and subscribe**.
