The FBI issued a search warrant at his property at 10404 Kimbark Avenue in Whittier on Thursday to investigate various allegations of child endangerment.

Tip resulted in search warrant of Whittier home

By Rudy Gonzales:
WHITTIER DAILY NEWS - A tip that a 63-year-old Whittier man allegedly offered a 15-year-old boy money if he posed nude in photos led the FBI to serve a search warrant at the man's home Thursday.

When agents returned hours later with an arrest warrant, the man fatally shot himself in the head.

The man, identified by FBI officials, neighbors and public records as Ronald Eade, was also known by the moniker "Baron Von Helding." He called the 2,353-square-foot property he owned "Von Helding Estate" and rented it out for parties and other events.

Court documents and two monitored phone calls led the Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Team, a multi-agency task force focusing on the sexual exploitation of children, to get a federal search warrant for Eade's home in the 10400 block of Kimbark Avenue in the unincorporated portion of northern Whittier near Rose Hills.
