LOGANSPORT, Ind. — The jury trial for Daniel Muir, a former player with the Indianapolis Colts, and his wife, Kristin Muir, was recently canceled after the case was reassigned to a special judge in Cass Circuit Court. Special Judge Crystal Kocher was appointed on June 18 following an order from the Indiana Supreme Court.
The Muirs were arrested in July 2024 when their son, Bryson Muir, went missing for several days after leaving his grandmother’s home in Ohio. The situation prompted the issuance of an Indiana Silver Alert later that month. Bryson was ultimately located during a raid on the Muirs’ residence, where authorities discovered evidence of physical abuse by his father.
Daniel Muir faces several charges, including low-level felonies for obstruction of justice and battery resulting in serious bodily injury, alongside a misdemeanor charge for domestic battery. Kristin Muir is also facing a felony charge of obstruction of justice.
A status hearing for the Muirs is scheduled for Thursday at 1 p.m. Although their trial was previously set to begin on August 4, no new court date has been announced.
The case has garnered significant attention due to its troubling circumstances involving the safety of the child. The local community is closely watching developments as the legal proceedings unfold.
