The search for missing Texas mom of four Suzanne Simpson has been ongoing for over two weeks. Her husband, Brad Simpson, has been charged with assault causing bodily injury, family violence, and unlawful restraint following an incident on Oct. 6 where a disturbance occurred between the couple at a club in the San Antonio area. A neighbor allegedly saw the two physically fighting and later heard screams from a wooded area, leading to suspicions about Brad’s involvement in Suzanne’s disappearance. However, Brad’s attorney, Steven Gilmore, has argued that the charges against him are “ludicrous” and that the case is being used to keep him in custody.
Despite attempts by police to interview Brad, he has been uncooperative, which has raised suspicions about his involvement in Suzanne’s disappearance. A federal detainer has been placed on him by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for illegally owning a firearm, further complicating his legal situation. The search for Suzanne has led investigators to search the Simpson home and recover several firearms, including a short-barreled rifle that was allegedly not registered with the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Records. This has added a federal charge to Brad’s legal troubles, potentially leading to further consequences.
Attorney Ted Williams has commented on the unusual nature of the $2 million bond set for Brad’s misdemeanors, suggesting that it may be an effort to keep him incarcerated while authorities conduct their investigation. Brad’s lack of cooperation with law enforcement, along with the federal gun charge, has created a complex situation in terms of the legal proceedings surrounding Suzanne’s disappearance. The focus of the search for Suzanne has shifted to wooded areas in and around Olmos Park, where she was last seen wearing a black dress on the night she vanished.
Brad Simpson’s attorney, Steven Gilmore, has expressed doubts about the credibility of the neighbor who reported seeing the altercation between Brad and Suzanne, suggesting that there are discrepancies in the witness’s account. The legal battle surrounding Brad’s charges and federal detainer continues, with Gilmore claiming that the charges against Brad are being used to keep him in custody without proper due process. Despite Brad’s attempts to cooperate with the investigation, ongoing legal issues and suspicions surrounding his involvement in Suzanne’s disappearance have complicated the search efforts and legal proceedings.
The search for Suzanne Simpson at a local landfill has yielded no evidence related to her disappearance, prompting authorities to refocus their efforts on wooded areas near Olmos Park. With the investigation ongoing and Brad Simpson’s legal situation becoming increasingly complex, the search for answers regarding Suzanne’s whereabouts continues. The family and community remain hopeful for a resolution to the case and for the safe return of Suzanne, a beloved mother and luxury real estate agent whose disappearance has shaken the San Antonio area.
