With the ongoing case of Suzanne Simpson, more evidence continues to be discovered against her husband Brad Simpson. Since Oct. 6, the night of Suzanne’s disappearance, the police have been unable to locate her body, leading to further investigation into her husband’s actions that night. Due to not having a crucial piece to the case, District Attorney Steve Kunzweller believes that prosecutors will still be able to make their case.
Before Suzanne’s disappearance, she told her banker she was in an abusive relationship with her husband Brad; she claimed he would continuously take her cell phone away and told her more than once “that if she went missing to look for her in a lake.” He would also lie to their children and tell them she lost her phone every time he would take it from her.
Moreover, Brad had sent a text message to an unidentified female, saying, “I still feel bad about tonight, I never should’ve grabbed her phone…she was so protective of it… I have no interest in looking through her phone… These devices are the Devil.” Later on in the investigation, the female told the police Suzanne was aware of her husband’s jealous and toxic behavior.
Leading up to Suzanne’s disappearance, the Simpsons were seen with their five-year-old daughter at a party at the Argyle Club, where they were witnessed having a verbal altercation, around 8:30 p.m. Suzanne left with her daughter to the H-E-B grocery store from 8:40 p.m. to 8:51 p.m. They soon returned home, and around 9:15 p.m. Suzanne called a family friend and said she was going to come over. Just one minute after her previous call, she calls her mother to notify her of Brad’s aggressive behavior and the harm he has caused her that night.
Around 9:30 p.m., she arrived at her friend’s home. After 10 p.m., the neighbor began to observe the aggressive behavior of Brad towards his wife. The neighbor witnessed Brad holding Suzanne downwards to prevent her escape and later heard screams from a dark wooded area across from his home.
More evidence has been discovered that could lead investigators to Suzanne’s whereabouts. With new surveillance footage from a Whataburger in Boerne on Oct 7, the day after Suzzane was last seen alive. In the footage, trash bags, a large heavy-duty trash can, an ice chest and a large bulky item that resembled a human body could be seen in the back of Brad’s truck.
Additional surveillance footage depicted Brad purchasing a construction bucket with a lid, two big bags of concrete, heavy-duty trash bags, Clorox disinfectant spray and an insect repellant.
With more evidence being built up against Brad, the murder case of Suzanne can begin to solidify the true events of that night. The backstory of her domestic abuse-turned-murder case and a final verdict to give peace of mind to her family and friends.
