Former NFL star's son reported missing during 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.

Indiana State Police issued a Silver Alert Friday for Bryson Muir, who was last seen just before 8 a.m. on June 16 leaving a family member's residence in Cleveland with his parents, according to a police news release.

Indiana police say the vehicle driven by his mother, Kristen Muir, was stopped later that day by Garfield Heights police. 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, saying they would take Bryson with them.

“The agreement was to meet at 12:00 noon (Friday),” a police news release said. “At approximately 11:00 a.m., the Muirs backed out of that arrangement, indicating an unwillingness to cooperate.” Police believe Bryson is in danger.

The Cass County Department of Child Services called state police on June 18 to investigate reports that Bryson was the victim of domestic battery, according to police. The home where the abuse allegedly occurred is in Logansport and owned by the Servant Leader's Foundation, according to police.

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

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

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Bryson Muir is asked to contact state police at 1-800-382-0689 or call 911.
