Search continues for missing Logansport boy, son of former Colts player
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indiana State Police are asking for help to find 14-year-old Bryson Muir, the son of former Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Daniel Muir.
Bryson has been missing for over two weeks and police believe he is in danger.
State police say Bryson was last seen on Sunday, June 16, leaving his grandmother’s house in Ohio with his mother, Kristen Muir. Bryson and his mother were going to drive back to Logansport, but when Ohio police stopped the vehicle, he was not inside.
Bryson’s grandmother says she called police after they left because her grandson showed signs of physical abuse. An image of Bryson from the police showed him with a black eye.
On June 18, Indiana State Police visited the Muir home on U.S. 24 in Logansport at the request of the Department of Child Services to investigate allegations of domestic abuse.
Indiana State Police Captain Ron Galaviz says Bryson’s parents are now cooperating after multiple attempts to reach them in the last few days.
“We don’t know where Bryson is at, and that’s the one question we want answered,” Galaviz told News 8.
Galaviz said that’s the one answer the parents could not give.
“That’s our primary concern: to get eyes on him, and assure his safety and well-being.”
State police say the property in Logansport is owned by the Servant Leadership Foundation, a nonprofit religious group.
On the gated property, there are multiple “no trespassing” signs. A large “Welcome to Straitway Indiana Goshen” sign is at the front of the property. Goshen means “a place of comfort” and “plenty.” Bryson’s father, Daniel, is part of Straitway Truth Ministry, a controversial religious sect. Members live in a commune.
I-Team 8 spoke to the family’s neighbors and they all declined to be on camera for fear of retaliation. They describe the property and Straitway Truth Ministry as “scary,” “creepy” and “cult-like.” Some said they’ve heard gunshots from the property.
Investigators are encouraging anyone with any information to call Indiana State Police at 800-382-0689 or 911.
