Police said the investigation into the Muirs remains active, and no further information was going to be released at this time.

A Silver Alert was issued for Bryson last week after the teen’s grandmother called police concerned for his safety. Police launched a child abuse investigation and released a photo showing Bryson with a swollen eye.
