Police are looking for a woman who has been missing since Sunday night.

Suzanne Clark Simpson, 51, was last seen in the 500 block of East Olmos in Olmos Park at around 11 p.m.

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.

Scammers exploit the disappearance of Suzanne Simpson, setting up fake fundraisers
It's been 24 days since anyone has seen missing mother of four and realtor Suzanne Simpson.

In the meantime, here husband, Brad Simpson, who was the last person to see her alive, remains uncooperative with police.

He and his longtime business partner, James Cotter, remain in jail.

The Simpson's have four kids, with the youngest being five years old.

Since Suzanne's disappearance and the arrest of their father, they've all been in the care of family.

At this hour, an online fundraiser that was legitimately created on the website Meal Train, has already raised more than $62,000 to help the family.

Unfortunately, scammers are also trying to take advantage.

Suzanne's sister, Teresa, says another bogus fundraiser was set up listing her as the creator, but it is not legitimate. And Suzanne's daughter went to social media warning people about other fraudulent fundraisers.

The family told us they're disappointed scammers are trying to profit off their family's situation.
 

James Cotter's attorneys argue his bond amounts are 'unconstitutional'​

The man arrested and accused of trying to help Brad Simpson hide a gun appeared in court Monday.

Attorneys for James Cotter are fighting to get his bond reduced. Cotter was arrested two weeks after Brad's wife, Suzanne Simpson, disappeared from their Olmos Park neighborhood on Oct. 6.

No decision was made Monday, so the hearing has been moved to Tuesday afternoon as the judge considers Cotter's financial situation, an argument the state brought against the defense.

Cotter's defense claimed his bond amount, which totals $1 million for his charges of tampering with evidence and prohibited weapons, is “unconstitutional."

“The entire purpose here is to keep him in jail as long as possible to try and force him to cooperate, and that’s not the basis of bail bonds in the State of Texas," the defense claimed. "That’s not legal."

His attorney has asked that each of the two $500,000 bonds be reduced to $25,000, claiming Cotter is not a risk to the community.

He also noted the bond condition where if Cotter does bond out, he will be required to be monitored at home by GPS.

The state returned with evidence of conversations between the defense and Brad Simpson.

“The text messages (the judge) read in the affidavit… He was willing to meet him and hide his fully automatic machine gun," the state claimed.

They used this to show he would “go far enough to protect Brad," making him a threat to the community, according to prosecutors.

Cotter’s financial status also came into question as the judge weighed his constitutional rights, responding to the defense.

“Your statement is these bonds are on their face egregious, therefore his finances shouldn’t be an issue," the judge offered.

So the defense asked to have Cotter’s family flown in to testify regarding his financial status Tuesday afternoon, effectively delaying a decision.

The state objected to the continuance.

“The defense has had ample time to prepare this evidence… several weeks," prosecutors said.

On Tuesday, they’ll head back to court for a decision. Cotter's family is expected to testify.

Meanwhile, Brad Simpson will be arraigned next Nov. 13.
 

‘Speak for my mom’: Suzanne Simpson’s daughter shares message about domestic violence​

Suzanne Clark Simpson’s 20-year-old daughter posted a series of stories on Instagram on Tuesday about her mother’s disappearance and spoke out against domestic violence.

“Suzanne Simpson was a victim of abuse and a victim of this community. Beyond being a victim, she was a phenomenal mother, hardworking, driven, loving, and kind,” a post said.

One of the Instagram stories alleges that her father, Brad Simpson, “took my mother’s life in a state of rage and control.”

Brad Simpson, the husband of Suzanne Simpson, remains in jail on charges of family violence and unlawful restraint but has not been charged directly with her disappearance. Olmos Park police have said he is not cooperating with investigators.

Suzanne Simpson’s daughter said she wants the public to know that her mother was a victim of domestic violence and that the Alamo Heights community must improve in raising awareness of crimes against women.

The daughter thinks women within the Alamo Heights community are told to keep quiet regarding domestic violence. She encourages women to make their voices heard.

“THIS IS THE TIME TO SPEAK. SPEAK FOR MY MOM. SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. Your voice will be heard. My mom fought for her life, fought for her family and herself,” a post said.

Instead of staying silent and ignoring incidents of domestic violence, Suzanne Simpson’s daughter urges women who have experienced any abuse to speak up.

“Any women of the AHHS community that has experienced verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, this is your time to speak. Be strong like my mother and speak up,” a post stated.

Brad Simpson's family speaks on new murder charge in missing mother case​

Brad Simpson, the husband of missing San Antonio mother of four Suzanne Clark Simpson, has officially been charged with murder in connection to his wife’s death. Now, family members say the healing process can begin as the slow wheels of justice begin to turn.

It’s been over a month since Suzanne Simpson was last seen battling off her husband, according to arrest records for Brad Simpson. Search efforts yielded little to no evidence in the weeks after her disappearance, but state and local agencies now say they have enough evidence to charge Brad Simpson for his wife’s death.

Brad Simpson’s brother, Barton, has been working closely with law enforcement after the husband went radio silent, lawyering up and becoming uncooperative with investigators. Bart Simpson says the new charges are heartbreaking, but it means the family can now start the healing process.

“It is heartbreaking, but it brings our family some peace to know that authorities have gathered sufficient evidence to feel confident in moving forward with charges,” Barton Simpson told MySA. “This also helps us to come to terms with the reality that Suzanne is no longer with us, allowing us to being a difficult grieving process and focus on rebuilding our lives, especially for the sake of the children and our extended family.”


It’s unclear what new evidence detectives uncovered which led to the murder charge against Brad Simpson, but new information will be shared during a press conference on Friday afternoon, November 8.

“We remain appreciative to all law enforcement for their professionalism in dealing with this situation,” Bart Simpson said.

Texas DPS confirms new location in search for Suzanne Simpson, asks public for help​

Olmos Park Police and the Texas Department of Public Safety held a news conference Friday, one day after Suzanne Simpson's husband, Brad, was charged with murder.


Later in the news conference, DPS spokesperson Deon Cockrell confirmed that authorities are searching the Bandera area, adding to the list of locations law enforcement have looked for Suzanne. They have also scoured locations in Olmos Park and Kendall County, along with a landfill east of San Antonio.

"That is one of the areas where the evidence had turned us to and we continues to search wherever any of the evidence comes up," Cockrell said of the Bandera-area location.

Because of the active search for her remains, Cockrell pleaded with the public to come forward with any new information, echoing a sentiment law enforcement have repeated over the last month.

"We ask that if the public knows anything, please contact the Olmos Park Police Department or the Department of Public Safety," Cockrell said. "The district attorney starts their process in the prosecution phase, even though we are not stopping our search for Suzanne Clark Simpson."

Cockrell also said Brad Simpson has not had contact with his children since his arrest.

Suzanne was last seen in their Olmos Park neighborhood north of downtown San Antonio on Oct. 6. Brad's bond for the murder charge was set at $2 million, bringing his total bonds from all charges filed against him to $5 million.

A judge has sealed his murder warrant until Dec. 7.
 

Suzanne Simpson confided in personal banker to 'look for her in a lake' if she went missing, affidavit claims​

A burn site where cell phones were found destroyed, a request for directions to the nearest dump site, blood stains found on a truck—those are some of the details authorities reported uncovering in their investigation into Suzanne Simpson's disappearance before filing a murder charge against her husband, Brad, last week.

Among the most striking findings outlined in the nine-page affidavit, filled out by an Olmos Park Police lieutenant, is a recent conversation between Suzanne and her personal banker in which the realtor and mother "advised her that if she went missing to look for her in a lake." That exchange happened "around August of 2024," the document says, just weeks before she disappeared from her Olmos Park home on Oct. 6.

No evidence has been found indicating that Suzanne, 51, is still alive, the affidavit says, reiterating what law enforcement have said over five-plus weeks. But Olmos Park Police Department Lt. Hector Ruiz said the investigation uncovered "probable cause" that Brad Simpson "intentionally and knowingly" caused her death.


Among the things investigators uncovered was Brad's whereabouts the day after he allegedly assaulted his wife.

According to the arrest warrant, authorities reviewed several surveillance videos showing what was in the back of his truck on Oct. 7. One of those videos, the affidavit says, shows him at a Whataburger in Boerne around 9:12 a.m. that day with trash bags, a heavy-duty trash can, ice chest and a "large bulky item wrapped and secured in a blue tarp" that was held down by a firewood rack.

Authorities say Brad Simpson, 53, then went to a Home Depot to purchase cement with cash, as well as Clorox disinfectant spray and insect repellant. While in the store's parking lot, investigators say, Brad asked someone where the closest dump was. The affidavit adds that Brad "intentionally shuts off his cellular service" at this point, and put his phone into "Lock Down mode."

The affidavit says vehicle data gathered by investigators show him near a waste site in Kendall County before he was spotted by surveillance cameras at a car wash back in San Antonio, where he was seen "washing and cleaning the driver front side and the rear-left passenger side." "Dried cement splashes" were seen in the truck bed, and when Texas Rangers searched the truck on Oct. 10, they found blood stains that belonged to Brad.

Brad reported his wife missing the night of Oct. 7, which authorities have said. But the affidavit alleges he only did so after Suzanne's friend called police first. The warrant states Brad told investigators he had last seen his wife the night of Oct. 6. However, it also states that in a phone call with the Olmos Park Police chief on Oct. 8, Brad contradicted himself, stating he last saw his wife the morning of Oct. 7, asleep in a different room.



Brad remains in the Bexar County jail with bonds totaling $3 million and a federal hold by the ATF for a weapons charge. Meanwhile, a bond hearing scheduled for Wednesday has been delayed to Dec. 19.

What kind of relationship would one have with your personal banker to divulge this info to? Were they asking her about moving funds and why or were they also friends? I'm not sure what to think about this.

He stated that she lost her phone at the store. She was on her phone with her mom that evening and how convenient that "somebody" gets on his phone, onto the cell provider app and suspends her account while she is telling her mom about him hurting her...but stated that she lost her phone before that. This dude :sigh:

Brad Simpson's attorney files motion for examining trial. What that means about his chance of leaving jail​

Lawyers for Brad Simpson, who is facing a murder charge in the disappearance of his wife, filed a motion that could result in his release from custody.

Simpson was arrested on Oct. 9, just days after his wife, Suzanne Simpson, was reported missing. He was initially facing family violence charges after a witness claims to have seen him attempting to restrain Suzanne the last night she was seen alive. But, he was later charged with murder when detectives determined they had enough evidence to charge him in Suzanne's death, despite her remains being . A murder warrant released Tuesday says investigators believe Simpson spent the day after she was last seen hiding her remains.

According to online records, on Thursday, Brad Simpson’s public defender filed a motion for an examination trial. That means they want a hearing to go over evidence to prove it is strong enough for a grand jury and indictment.

All defendants in Texas have a right to request an examining trial, which usually happens early in a criminal case, according to a Dallas legal resource. The hearing is in open court where evidence can be introduced, but there is no jury and there is no formal issuance of guilt. State statutes say the judge can determine one of three outcomes, which are committing the accused to jail, discharging him or admitting him to bail.

The judge has not ruled on that motion yet. Brad remains in the Bexar County Jail with a $3 million dollar bond.
 
Daughter of missing woman speaks out as father faces murder charges
For the first time, one of Suzanne Simpson's children has spoken publicly about the turmoil their family has faced in the month since their mother's disappearance.

Chandler Simpson, 20, shared her experience during an interview on the "Connect with Jonathan Mark Podcast."

"When I got home, it was like nothing was happening, and that was really frustrating to me," Chandler said. "It was like there was no police, everyone was acting like nothing was wrong. This is not right; this is not normal."

Chandler explained that after arriving in San Antonio, she and her siblings went to the police, which led to a search warrant for their home in Olmos Park.

"Because of me and my siblings' statements did not align with what my dad had told them, they were able to get a search warrant to get into the house to see the hole in the wall from where my dad had pushed my mom downstairs and to arrest him and put him in jail," she said.

Brad Simpson, Suzanne's husband, is currently in Bexar County Jail, charged with her murder. Authorities also discovered evidence at the family's "river home" in Bandera, 54 miles away.

According to an affidavit, a Bandera County deputy found Brad Simpson burning three cell phones and a laptop the night before his arrest.

The next day, Texas Rangers located a burn site with a burnt laptop and multiple cellular devices belonging to Simpson.

Six weeks after Suzanne Simpson's disappearance, her body remains missing. Chandler expressed the ongoing pain she and her siblings, ages 18, 15, and 5, are enduring. "Every day it just gets harder," she said.

The kids are why we actually have a missing person's report. Thanks to him, they have no parents now. I wonder if she has custody of the younger 3 now.
