Grandmother of retired NFL player's missing son, 14, sounds alarm

The grandmother of the missing son of former defensive tackle Daniel Muir is speaking out over the 14-year-old's disappearance, the alleged abuse he's suffered at the hands of his father, and the Indiana religious group she believes 'brainwashed' the teenager.

'His face was battered,' Cheryl Wright, grandmother of missing Bryson Muir and mother-in-law to Daniel Muir, told of her last encounter with her grandson outside her Cleveland-area home. 'When I got [Bryson] he had a black eye and busted lip. His whole face was swollen. I can only imagine how many times he had been hit in the face for it to be like that.'

On Friday, police issued a Silver Alert for Bryson, who is believed to be in extreme danger amid allegations of abuse against Daniel. The teenager was last seen leaving his grandmother's Ohio home on June 16, according to Indiana State Police. Since then, officers have described parents Daniel and Kristen as uncooperative after reneging on an agreement to bring their son to meet with ISP investigators last week.
