The search for Suzanne Simpson, a mother of four who vanished under unexplained circumstances, is now in its ninth day. Law enforcement agencies have ramped up their efforts, centering their investigation of a Southeast Bexar County landfill. The exact location remains undisclosed, but authorities are confident that this area may hold crucial evidence about the case.
Neighbors last saw Suzanne during an altercation with her husband, Brad Simpson, outside their home in Almost Park. Initial investigations around their home led police to expand their search to Boerne, based on evidence found there. This evidence has now guided them to the landfill, where multiple agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers, are meticulously sifting through the accumulated waste. The aim is to provide Suzanne’s worried family with some closure.
The search operation, characterized as painstaking and strenuous, involves cadets from the San Antonio Police Department assisting in examining the trash. Investigators are hopeful about locating Suzanne at this site due to a combination of evidence, witness statements, and comprehensive police work.
In the meantime, Brad Simpson is being held in the Bexar County Jail on charges of family violence. His bond is set at $2 million, and a scheduled bond reduction hearing was canceled due to a federal detainer placed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. If he manages to post bail, he will be transferred to the custody of U.S. Marshals.
Brad’s brother, Barton Simpson, expressed gratitude on social media for the relentless efforts of law enforcement. He acknowledged their exhaustive work and expressed hope that they are close to uncovering the truth about Suzanne’s disappearance.
The couple was seen arguing after returning from a private club, and further disturbances were noted in a nearby wooded area. The following day, Brad reported Suzanne missing, claiming she hadn’t returned home and that their daughter was not picked up from school. This led to a broader investigation and eventually to Brad’s arrest on assault charges.
Community members, friends, and family of Suzanne remain hopeful, leaning on their faith during this challenging period. A vigil was held to honor Suzanne, as her family continues to seek prayers and support. Her mother, Barbara Clark, has resigned to the possibility that her daughter may no longer be alive, yet she remains determined to uncover the truth.
As the search continues, the community follows developments closely, yearning for answers and hoping for resolution in this unsettling case.
