Former Colts DT Daniel Muir's 14-year-old son goes missing as police investigate mysterious disappearance

Bryson Muir, the son of former Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Daniel Muir, has been missing since June 16. According to NBC Chicago, the police issued a silver alert on Friday to find the teenager, but two weeks after the disappearance of the child, they are left with more questions than answers.

On June 16, Bryson Muir and his mother, Kristin Muir, left his grandmother’s home in Ohio. However, when Kristin was stopped by the local police, Bryson was not in the car. Authorities in Indiana said in their statement:

“Shortly after leaving this residence, this vehicle was pulled over by the Garfield Heights (OH) Police Department, but Bryson was not inside.”

Indiana Police launched an investigation alleging abuse against the parents, Kristin and Daniel Muir. The allegations have been made by Bryson’s grandmother (Daniel Muir’s mother). She has provided the police department with pictures of Bryson with injury marks on his face.

As per IndyStar, the parents had agreed to meet with the police on Friday with their son; however, they canceled the meeting an hour before the agreed time. As per the police department, this move by Daniel Muir and his wife “signaled an unwillingness to cooperate.”

Bryson Muir was last seen wearing an orange Under Armor shirt with a pair of blue jeans. The police believe him to be in immediate danger.
