In 1987, Caden took charge of the investigation into the "Lambo incident", involving the RTÉ DJ Gerry Ryan.
In the 1990s, John Caden left his employment with RTÉ. He is the father-in-law of Sunday Independent journalist Brendan O'Connor. He was briefly associated with the campaign of Derek Nally to become President of Ireland in the 1997 Irish presidential election before disassociating himself with the campaign over disagreements with the candidate.
