According to authorities, the Indiana State Police and SWAT team members executed search and arrest warrants at the Muirs’ Logansport residence early Wednesday morning. Daniel and Kristin were taken into custody without incident and remanded to the Cass County Jail. Bryson, who appeared to be “safe and well,” was put into the care of the Cass County Department of Child Services.

“The investigation intensified after police said Daniel Muir became uncooperative with the probe.”

Daniel Muir, 40, was charged with one count of obstruction of justice, a felony, and one count of domestic battery, a misdemeanor. Kristin Muir, 38, was charged with felony obstruction of justice as well.
