Former NFL player named person of interest in 14-year-old son's disappearance: Indiana State Police

LOGANSPORT, Ind. - The Indiana State Police (ISP) is looking for a missing 14-year-old Logansport boy who is considered endangered.

Bryson Muir is the son of former NFL player Daniel Muir, according to police. Daniel has been named as a person of interest in his son's disappearance. 

The teen was last seen on June 16 leaving a family member’s home in Ohio with his mother, Kristen Muir, in a white 2015 Chevrolet Suburban. 

"We definitely want to get our eyes on him for ourselves, to ensure his safety and well-being," said Captain Ron Galaviz of the Indiana State Police.

The vehicle, which belongs to the Servant Leader’s Foundation in Kokomo, was later stopped by the Garfield Heights Police Department in Ohio, but Bryson was not in the car.

The investigation intensified around June 18 when ISP investigators were requested by the Cass County Department of Child Services to probe allegations of domestic battery against Bryson. 

The alleged abuse reportedly took place at the Muir family home located in the 1700 block of West US Highway 24 in Logansport, a property owned by the Servant Leader’s Foundation.

On Thursday, authorities visited the Muir residence where they say Bryson's parents, Daniel and Kristen, were showing signs of cooperation in the investigation. However, on Friday, the parents were supposed to meet with detectives and backed out at the last minute, which police say signals an unwillingness to cooperate.

"The attorney contacted our investigators indicating that the parents were backing out of that arrangement. To us, that signaled a lack of cooperation. And, which was disappointing, because yesterday we felt we had built a little bit of inroads with them," said Captain Galaviz.

The ISP is urging anyone with information on Bryson's whereabouts to contact the ISP Post in Peru at 800-382-0689 or to call 911.
