Son of former NFL star goes missing amid abuse investigation; last seen in northeast Ohio

LOGANSPORT, Ind. – The 14-year-old son of former NFL player Daniel Muir has been missing for two weeks, and Indiana police say Muir and his wife are not cooperating with investigators.

On Friday, Indiana State Police issued a Silver Alert for Bryson Muir, who was last seen shortly before 8 a.m. on June 16 as he left a family member’s apartment in Cleveland with his parents, a police news release said.

Indiana police said his mother, Kristen Muir’s, vehicle was stopped by Garfield Heights police later that day. Bryson was not in the vehicle, police said.

Friday’s Silver Alert was issued after Daniel Muir and his wife reportedly backed out of an agreement to meet with police and said they would bring Bryson with them.

“The agreement was to meet at 12 noon (Friday),” a police press release said. “At around 11 a.m., the Muirs withdrew from this agreement, signaling their unwillingness to cooperate.” Police believe Bryson is in danger.

Cass County Child Protective Services called state police on June 18 to investigate reports that Bryson was a victim of domestic violence, police said. The home where the abuse allegedly occurred is located in Logansport and is owned by the Servant Leader’s Foundation, police said.

Cheryl Wright, Kristin Muir’s mother, told WTHR Channel 13 that Bryson was last seen leaving their Cleveland home. She said she contacted police because she saw Bryson with a black eye, a swollen lip and a swollen face. She said her grandson accused Daniel Muir of causing the injuries.

Daniel Muir, 40, is a former NFL defensive tackle who played for seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets and the then-Oakland Raiders from 2007 to 2013. He played college football at Kent State.

Anyone with information on Bryson Muir’s whereabouts is asked to contact State Police at 1-800-382-0689 or call 911.
