Husband of missing Olmos Park woman arrested on family violence charges in Kendall County​

The husband of a woman at the center of a missing persons case out of Olmos Park has been arrested on family violence charges, according to the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office.

Brad Simpson, 53, was booked early Wednesday morning on charges of assault causing bodily injury-family violence and unlawful restraint. His bond amount is still pending.

He was arrested off Interstate 10 East on a frontage Road in Kendall County, Olmos Park police said.

The Olmos Park Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety are searching for Simpson’s wife, Suzanne Clark Simpson, who has been missing since Sunday.

During a news conference on Wednesday, Olmos Park Police Chief Fidel Villegas said Brad Simpson is not currently a suspect in his wife’s disappearance at this time.

Suzanne Clark Simpson was last seen around 11 p.m. Sunday in the 500 block of East Olmos Drive, near Shook Avenue. Police said she was wearing a black dress that she went out in that night.

Sergeant Deon Cockrell said the search began in a woods area near Simpson’s home. Roads are closed off as the investigation continues and will be for the next 24 hours, according to police.

Police said there was a disturbance between the Simpsons after they left The Argyle in Alamo Heights between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Sunday.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Brad Simpson told officers that at 3 p.m. on Monday, their child’s school called him and advised him that their child had not been picked up from school. Suzanne Clark Simpson typically picks up their child from school, the affidavit states.

Villegas said Brad Simpson was supposed to have an appointment with him about his missing wife, but he was not cooperative and didn’t show up.

Police said they spoke with a neighbor who reported he saw the couple in a physical altercation on Sunday night. He added that he heard screams from a wooded area east of his residence.

Villegas said, to his knowledge, there is no history of domestic violence between the couple, but police are still investigating. However, he said many witnesses reported to police that there had been tension between the family.

Villegas said officers searched that wooded area and found two articles that they’re looking into, but he did not give any details about what those items were. He said he does not want people to try to search for Suzanne Simpson without police supervision.

“We’re very concerned,” Villegas said.

Suzanne Simpson’s cell phone is also missing, according to the chief. He said they’re working on obtaining search warrants to investigate the family’s home and trying to locate the cellphone.

Villegas also said they were looking into other properties that the family owns as well.

Olmos Park police are asking the public for tips in connection with Brad Simpon’s vehicle, a 2019 dark-colored GMC Sierra pickup truck. They are looking for any people who may have seen the truck Sunday night after the family violence incident.

'Immensely grateful' | Suzanne Simpson's family releases statement thanking law enforcement as search continues​

It has now been one week since a 51-year-old woman has been seen by anybody.

Numerous searches have been conducted by the Olmos Park Police, Department of Public Safety, Kendall County Sheriff's Office and more. As of Sunday, October 13, she has not yet been found.


The family of Suzanne Simpson has released a statement thanking law enforcement for their efforts.

"As the search for Suzanne continues, we are immensely grateful for the extraordinary efforts of law enforcement," said a FB post from Barton Tinsley Simpson. "The Olmos Park Police, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Rangers, and many others have been vigilant and tireless in their efforts to find Suzanne. We want to extend a special thanks to Chief Fidel Villegas, Ranger Jessie Perez, and the DPS Victim Services team for guiding us through this unimaginable ordeal and helping us protect and support Suzanne’s children."

"We are also deeply thankful to the community and to everyone who has supported and continues to support the search. To all of you who have reached out with love and encouragement, please know that your support means the world to us. We will not stop until we find her."

"As you attend church this morning, please keep Suzanne’s children in your prayers. We ask God to bless them and give us the strength to endure this painful and heartbreaking situation."

If he's NOT cooperating. NO BOND!!! Shouldn't get it anyway. He killed her. I think we have all come to that unfortunate conclusion.

Authorities search SE Bexar County landfill in case of missing Olmos Park mother Suzanne Simpson

The Texas Department of Public Safety set up a mobile command center at a landfill on the Southeast Side amid the search for Suzanne Clark Simpson.

Authorities search SE Bexar County landfill in case of missing Olmos Park mother Suzanne Simpson​

A search at a southeast Bexar County landfill for evidence in Suzanne Clark Simpson’s disappearance was tied to a sealed search warrant, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

The warrant was signed on Saturday after it was filed by the Texas Department of Public Safety, sources told KSAT.

The Texas Department of Public Safety told KSAT that the landfill is one of four areas they searched in connection with Simpson, an Olmos Park mother of four and Realtor who was last seen on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Texas DPS asked KSAT to not reveal the exact location due to the ongoing investigation.

According to Texas DPS, they concluded their search on Monday but will return on Tuesday.

Sealed warrants are common in federal cases but are rarely used in county cases. The seal can remain in place for up to 31 days and only can be used if an attorney establishes in court that publicly disclosing the contents of the case would harm the case.
 

What we know about the landfill search for Suzanne Simpson​

The investigation into where missing San Antonio mom Suzanne Simpson may be has intensified. In a statement shared on social media, Olmos Park Police Chief Fidel Villegas said there is a good chance of recovering Suzanne at the Southeast Side landfill they are searching.

A spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety said crews have been searching the landfill since Monday morning, October 14. He said they started around 10 a.m. and then began the search again Tuesday morning, October 15, around 7 a.m.

This is the third location investigators have been combing through since Suzanne went missing on October 6. Officials began looking at an area around her Olmos Park home hours after she was reported missing. On Friday, October 11, and over the weekend investigators turned to an area in Boerne - a city about 30 miles from San Antonio.

"They’re doing just like they were in Boerne — following leads,” a DPS spokesperson told MySA at the scene. "But whatever they were doing in the investigation led them over here yesterday."

Along with Texas Rangers, Olmos Park Police and Texas DPS, San Antonio Police Department has multiple cadets assisting in the search for the missing mother of four. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus shared an eerie image from the search scene of cadets wearing hazmat suits.

"The police chief from Olmos Park requested SAPD help searching for missing Suzanne Clark Simpson at a landfill. Twenty-five cadets are assisting with that search right now," he shared on social media.

A Texas DPS spokesperson couldn’t confirm what day the area being searched was dumped and compacted, but the search is isolated to small patch on a large landfill. However, it suggests investigators have some concept of what day they suspect something, or someone, was abandoned at the San Antonio landfill.

"We feel confident there is a good chance of recovering Suzanne at that location," Olmos Park Police said. "Evidence, statements, and solid police investigation has led us there. This would not be possible without the help of many other LE agencies and some non LE agencies. However, the Texas Rangers and the DPS are at the forefront of this investigation and the OPPD is working side by side with them."

Olmos Park Police say search for Suzanne Simpson is now recovery effort
It's Day 10 of the search for a missing mom and it's once again focused on a landfill in Southeast Bexar County.

Law enforcement has confirmed that this is now a recovery effort.

The Olmos Park Police Department said that evidence, statements and police investigation is what led them to the landfill to search for Suzanne Simpson's body. They say they are confidence there is a good chance of recovering her body at this location.

Several law enforcement agencies, including San Antonio Police Department cadets were helping in the search of the landfill.

Suzanne Simpson was last seen on Oct. 6 fighting with her husband at their home in Olmos Park. Simpson’s husband Brad Simpson, 53, was arrested Oct. 9traveling along Interstate 10 in Kendall County. He was arrested and charged with family violence offenses.

Brad Simpson is also facing federal firearm charges. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives on Tuesday published an affidavit that charged him with the unlawful Possession of a short-barreled rifle.

We did speak to officials with TEXSAR, a non-profit search and rescue team. While they are not involved in Suzanne's case, they did offer some insight into what resources are used to search for a missing person in a landfill.

“One of the methods that's used is to load an amount into a dump truck and spread it in an area away from the main pile, and then go through that, search that, and then go to the next section that's that's one of the methods that's used occasionally,” said Jeff Conrad, TEXSAR director of field operations.

Conrad also said that the search also uses canine teams, GPS systems and ground and wilderness search and rescue teams to help in the search.

An associate of Suzanne Simpson's husband was arrested Monday on a tampering with evidence charge.
According to Bexar County Court records, James Valle Cotter, 65, was charged with tampering or fabricating physical evidence with intent to impair an investigation. His bond was set at $500,000.

Valle Cotter is also named alongside Suzanne Simpson's husband, Brad Simpson, in a recent lawsuit against his company Cotter Sons, Inc.

Court records reveal that Simpson collaborated with one of the Cotter sons to establish and manage a janitorial company after expressing dissatisfaction with the services at Cotter & Sons facilities. When other executives deemed Premier Facilities Solutions, the company founded by Simpson, to be inadequate, Simpson and his co-founders sold the business to the National Business Services (NBS).

The sale included a promise of providing new janitorial contracts to clean the Cotter buildings, but NBS eventually filed a lawsuit after Cotter & Sons slowly paid or underpaid the invoices.

A jury found Cotter & Sons had breached the contract with NBS and awarded NBS over $850,000.

According to his arrest, Valle is ordered to surrender his passport and is under full house arrest. His bond has been set at $500,000.

The Texas Department of Public Safety issued a statement on Cotter's arrest, outlining the circumstances of his detention.

The Texas Rangers and the OPPD arrested Mr. James Vallee Cotter at his home yesterday," said DPS Sergeant Deon Cockrell. "During the Missing Person investigation in Olmos Park, investigators learned that Mr. Cotter had committed the offense of Tampering with Evidence, which is a 3rd Degree Felony. Mr. Cotter is a business associate of Mr. Brad Simpson, husband of Suzanne Simpson, who has been missing since 10-07-2024. We will not comment further on the ongoing."
 

Investigation deepens in case of missing Texas mother​

The search for the missing Texas mother and real estate broker is now in its third week, but new details have emerged in the investigation into her disappearance.
0012000001fxZm9AAE

Her jailed husband's business partner was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence after Brad Simpson texted him asking him to hide an AK-47 as police became suspicious of his actions. The Texas Department of Public Safety announced his arrest on Tuesday.

"If you're in Bandera, can you haul a-- to meet me at your house?" Brad Simpson allegedly texted his business associate, James Vallee Cotter, on Oct. 8, just one day after he reported his wife missing. "I don't have much time."

"Sorry for the urgency, but you're all I got especially now...social media is destroying me," Simpson said, according to an affidavit obtained by KENS 5 News.

The affidavit said Cotter agreed to hide the assault rifle at his San Antonio home, concealing it in the wall of his house. According to KENS 5, a team of K-9 dogs helped locate the gun in the wall. The machine gun reportedly had a string attached to it, so it could be retrieved "out of the void" in the wall, according to the documents.

I can't believe how stupid Simpson was to text the guy to hide a firearm.
 

Prosecutors vow to 'strenuously' oppose Brad Simpson's plea to see children​

Nearly three weeks after Olmos Park mother of four Suzanne Clark Simpson went missing, state agencies have pulled the statewide missing persons alert and her husband – whom many have pointed the finger at – is asking a Bexar County judge to let him see his children. However, police say they’re still investigating Suzanne’s disappearance, and the Bexar County district attorney isn’t going to grant child visitation without a fight.

Suzanne Simpson hasn’t been seen since a neighbor reported spotting a physical altercation between her and her husband, Brad Simpson, at around 11 p.m. the night of October 6, an altercation which landed Brad behind bars since October 8 on a family violence and unlawful restraint charge. A CLEAR Alert – a Texas notification system for missing and endangered adults – was discontinued this week, but investigators say they’re still searching for the missing San Antonio mother.

“The clear was canceled but the investigation is still ongoing,” a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson told MySA. “The missing posters for Ms. Simpson and the high-profile attention are sufficient to request information from anyone who may have information about Ms. Simpson’s whereabouts.”

CLEAR alerts are designated for missing adults who are in imminent danger of bodily injury or death. Much like an Amber Alert, they allow for statewide emergency alerts to be pushed out asking for help in locating the adult. To qualify, the missing person must be between 18 and 64, there must be enough information about the disappearance to provide the public to allow for help in locating the individual, and the request for CLEAR Alert must come in within 72 hours of the adult’s disappearance.

As the search for Suzanne continues, Brad Simpson has remained in prison, now facing two family violence misdemeanors and two felony evidence tampering and illegal weapons charges. But he’s asking a Bexar County judge to see his children – a task which is currently prohibited by the courts under his bond conditions.

"[Brad Simpson’s] children are not complainants in this or any cause, nor has the State alleged any evidence to suggest that this condition is any way related to the safety of the community or an alleged victim,” the motion filed by Simpson’s court-appointed attorney, Steven Gilmore, reads. “Further, defendant is not a flight risk. Therefore, counsel requests that the no contact order be modified to permit ‘no harmful or injurious contact.’”

However, Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales and his prosecutors vow they won’t let this happen without a fight.

“We intend on strenuously opposing this motion to modify bond conditions,” Gonzales told MySA. “Beyond that, because this is a pending case with ongoing issues, we cannot comment further.”

While Brad Simpson pushes back against the courts and DPS pulls back the statewide alert for Suzanne Simpson, there’s still a strong push to get the husband to cooperate with police, which he’s not done since immediately after his arrest. The Simpson family continues to work closely with law enforcement to cooperate where Brad is not.

“Our motivation as a family is to get Brad to cooperate with police to help find Suzanne,” a family member of Brad Simpson told MySA.
