The 14-year-old Logansport teen, Bryson Muir, reported missing nearly two weeks ago, has been found safe in Logansport.
Indiana State Police reported that the ISP SWAT team, with the assistance from the Logansport Police Department, Cass County Sheriff's Department, and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, executed search and arrest warrants around 6 a.m. Wednesday at the Muir family's residence in the 1700 block of U.S. Highway 24 outside of Logansport.
ISP reported that after finding Bryson, who appeared safe and well, he was released to the care and custody of the Cass County Department of Child Services.
The operation had also led to the discovery of the juvenile's parents, former NFL player Daniel Muir and Kristin Muir, who were both taken into custody and booked at the Cass County Jail.
Daniel faces prelimary charges of obstruction of justice, a Level 6, and a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.
Kristin faces one count of obstrution of justice, a Level 6 felony. No bond has been issued for the Muirs as of Wednesday, after a judge cited them as flight risks.
Bryson had first reported missing on June 16, after visiting with his maternal grandmother in Ohio. The grandmother told authorities that after picking Bryson up at her daughter's request in Toledo, that the boy appeared to have a swollen face, black eye and busted lip.
His grandmother told police that Bryson had admitted to her that his father had hit him, but that he was not mad about the incident, and had deserved it.
Within minutes after leaving the grandmother's home in Ohio, a vehicle driven by Kristen Muir had been pulled over, but Bryson was not found in the car.
Police released two photos of Bryson, one of those photos showing a swollen black eye on the boy.
Last week the Muirs had agreed to cooperate with officials by planning to meet with Bryson and the police on June 28 at noon.
ISP reported that an hour before that meeting, however, the Muirs backed out from the meeting and reportedly stopped cooperating with investigators.
A statewide Silver Alert was issued, stating the boy could be 'in extreme danger and possibly requiring medical assistance. The Silver Alert was eventually canceled after finding Bryson.
This is still an on-going investigation, and investigators continue to ask those with any further information to call the Indiana State Police in Peru at 1-800-382-0689
