A Texas man has been charged with the murder of his wife, who went missing in early October under suspicious circumstances. The case of Suzanne Simpson, a mother-of-four from Olmos Park, has taken a dark turn with the arrest of her husband, Brad Simpson.
According to a recently unsealed police affidavit, Suzanne had confided in her personal banker about her concerns regarding her safety. She had expressed fears of physical assault by her husband and had even made a chilling statement about being found in a lake if she were to go missing.
The arrest warrant for Brad Simpson reveals disturbing details that point to his involvement in his wife's presumed death. Surveillance footage captured him disposing of items at a dump site, purchasing suspicious supplies like cement and disinfectant, and cleaning his truck in a suspicious manner.
Investigators noted dried cement splashes and blood stains in Brad's truck, further raising suspicions about foul play. Despite Brad reporting his wife missing, inconsistencies in his statements and his behavior have led authorities to believe he is responsible for Suzanne's disappearance.
Brad Simpson has been charged with family violence, unlawful restraint, and now murder. He is currently in custody with bonds totaling $3 million and faces additional federal charges. His bond hearing, initially scheduled for this week, has been postponed to a later date.
The case continues to unfold as law enforcement pieces together evidence to determine the fate of Suzanne Simpson and bring justice to her family.
