His father was an alcoholic who is known to have physically and emotionally abused his wife and children. Eyler’s parents separated when he was two years old, and he and his sister were regularly placed in the care of babysitters, foster families, or simply left in the care of their two older siblings (the oldest of whom was just ten years old) as their mother struggled to both financially support and provide adequate care for four children as she worked two jobs as a waitress and in a factory on weekdays and occasionally in a bar at weekends. Nonetheless, when Eyler and his sister were in the care of foster families, their mother would frequently visit her two youngest children, and Eyler would claim these separations and reunions brought the family closer.

Henderson added that Eyler worked in a liqor store in Greencastle on Saturdays and lived in Terre Haute with an older male at weekends. He also informed investigators that in 1981, Eyler had drugged a 14-year-old boy, later abandoning the unconscious youth in woodland close to Greencastle. The boy had not been molested, and investigators theorized the reason Eyler had given the boy these pills was as a means to test the effectiveness of the sedative.
