Suzanne Clark Simpson, a mother of four from Olmos Park, has been missing since October 6, prompting an ongoing search operation by police and search and rescue teams in wooded areas and other potential locations. Neighbors reportedly witnessed a dispute between her and her husband, Brad, outside their home on the day she disappeared. Brad Simpson has been arrested on charges related to the incident and is currently being held on a $2 million bond. He is also being questioned about his wife's disappearance, according to a report from KENS 5.
In a plea to the public, Teresa Clark, Suzanne's sister, described the family's distress over the situation. "Suzanne was a beloved mother. She was an incredible person. We want everyone to know that we are devastating by the loss of my sister I am here to be a voice for my sister," Clark told KENS 5. She noted that search efforts would persist until Suzanne is found, receiving support from law enforcement and the community during this time.
The Olmos Park Police Department (OPPD) has been collaborating with Texas Search and Rescue to find Suzanne Simpson, focusing their efforts on the wooded areas in and around Olmos Park. The city's Mayor, Erin Harrison, mentioned that the operation was proceeding within city limits, emphasizing the intense search that has unfolded over the last weeks. According to a KSAT article, OPPD Chief Fidel Villegas stated that the department and DPS would release search results at a later time.
The search had previously expanded to a landfill in Southeast Bexar County, where crews spent days meticulously going through waste, though no evidence was found. "After conducting an extensive search consisting of digging and sifting through the municipal solid waste, no evidence was found," explained Texas DPS Sgt. Deon Cockrell. This update follows a federal felony charge against Brad Simpson, connected to the unlawful possession of a fireman discovered in his home. The weapon, a short-barreled rifle, was not legally registered to him, as per court records obtained by KSAT.
