Former NFL Player’s Son Found After Being Reported Missing

The son of former NFL player Daniel Muir was reported missing after not being seen since June 16. On July 3, the Indiana State Police announced that he had been found and his parents had been arrested.

The Indiana Police Department issued a Silver Alert (In Indiana, a silver alert pertains to “a Missing Endangered Adult, Missing Endangered Child, or High-Risk Missing Person or have a
mental impairment validated through a credible medical authority.”) for 14-year-old Bryson Muir, son of Daniel and Kristin. After the Indiana State Police SWAT team executed search and arrest warrants to check the home of the Muirs, all three family members were present when police arrived at 6:00 a.m. on July 3.

Bryson was deemed safe and well and released into the custody of the Cass County Department of Child Services. His parents were arrested and charged with Obstruction of Justice, a Level 6 Felony and Daniel was also charged with Domestic Battery, a Class A Misdemeanor.

Indiana State Police was initially looking for Bryson after he was last seen on June 16 leaving a family member’s residence in Ohio. At the time, he was with his mother and was seen in a white 2015 Chevrolet Suburban. Shortly after leaving the home, the Suburban was pulled over by the Garfield Heights (OH) Police Department, but Bryson was not in the car.

Around June 18, the Cass County Department of Child Services asked Indiana state investigators to look into allegations of domestic battery to Bryson. After contacting the Muirs, they agreed to bring Bryson to meet with investigators but they eventually backed out of that arrangement. On July 3, Bryson was located and taken from the home.

Indiana State Police have stated that this is still an active criminal investigation and if anyone has any information regarding the case against the Muirs, to contact the Peru Post at 800-382-0689 or 911.
