TX Suzanne Clark Simpson missing in San Antonio, last seen by friends at dinner

[no greed]

He looks old for his age. Wonder if any drug/alcohol abuse involved. Moo

I agree he is a bit old looking in his face for 53, but his body appears fit with a lot of arm and upper body strength. JMO

Behind a paywall. Does anyone have access who could summarize it?

Yep. I think he was a narcissist who had trouble getting along with people, creating conflicts around him all his life. It got worse as he got older. Add to that, financial troubles.

And he took it out on his wife, imo.

That's my working theory and nothing has ruled it out yet.

I think if she were alive, she would not allow her mother and children to wonder and worry. Of course, I hang on to hope that she is found alive.

Hard to believe we are even having this discussion. Anyone remember the case from Flagstaff earlier this summer, her name is escaping me at the moment. A neighbor saw her husband on top of her in the backyard assaulting her, never called LE - but later told them what they saw and heard.

Matter of fact, this case is very similar to the one I mentioned

Just caught up on this tragic, all-too-common story. Like everyone I wish the neighbor had called in but I wanted to offer a perspective, especially now that we know that BS had a dispute with his former employers, punched Suzanne in front of their minor child. At my last home, there was a neighbor behind us who would stand on his back porch and RAGE over the phone at his girlfriend/ex, bill collectors, etc. If he saw us in our backyard he would scream "what are you looking at." We were extremely frightened of him and even more so because he seemed to sense when we were there. The way that BS's neighbor was so clearly concerned, waiting up, going out with a flashlight, noting BS's movements. Not excusing this in any way but maybe the neighbor hesitated to put himself into BS's focus because he was frightened himself - BS sounds long-term unhinged. Maybe this fight wasn't totally unusual (BS's daughter is convinced her dad hurt her mom - and she doesn't live in the home). I'm sure the neighbor will have a long way to go to forgive himself and I do want to acknowledge that without the neighbor's information LE would be much further behind.

It's awful to be the neighbor who hears domestic fighting.

Some more details about the search and possible places
Evidence in the case to find missing San Antonio mother of four, Suzanne Clark Simpson, has stalled. Now, local law enforcement is looking to other Simpson family properties, of which there’s an extensive list considering, husband Brad Simpson, and his family have an overwhelming real estate portfolio from San Antonio and well into the Texas Hill Country.

I agree.

Also, unfortunately,
people usually loathe to get involved,
especially in others' domestic disputes/fights.

Sometimes,
it happens that arguing pairs reconcile and blame a neighbour for calling Police.

Also,
people are wary to become witnesses and being involved in all legal procedures, being dragged to Courts, etc.

Some only decide to act when they see kids or vulnerable people being hurt.
In other instances, they turn "blind & deaf".

In modern apartment buildings, neighbours don't even know one another.
They only exchange "Hello" in passing.

That is reality.
Sigh.

I’m thinking you may be a lot younger than 53 , because 53 is not that old and he looks a lot older than that.

ha, in fact, I'm 56! And actually, I thought if I didn't know he was a murder suspect, I'd say he's a good-lookin' guy! Sadly, all I can see is ugly now.

This couple reminds me of Suzanne and Barry in Colorado.

IMO, being in the neighbor's shoes, is a tough call either way. In hindsight, we all wish they would have called.

Search for missing mom Suzanne Simpson continues, husband transferred to Bexar County

Police have released more details surrounding the case of missing Olmos Park woman Suzanne Simpson in hopes of finding her.

news4sanantonio.com

"It's very possible that somebody saw her since Sunday or early Monday morning and said 'man, I saw her in those clothes. She didn't look, you know, very good.'," Villegas said. "Y'all need to help us out with that. That's always a possibility."

As day four of the search comes to an end, police are trying every avenue to find the 51-year-old.

So far, they've searched the family home and Brad's pickup truck but, there's nothing solid yet to confirm her condition.

"We'd love for her to be alive," Villegas said. "There's nothing concrete that says she's not alive. Again, I owe it to the family. We all owe it to the family to speak of her in a way where other people have been found.. Our expectations are, of course, that we get her back alive."

I really don’t see how it’s a tough call. A screaming woman that you can see is involved in a physical altercation. You call 911 and let them handle it.

This neighbor was so concerned that he actually went out to investigate, which means he knew this was likely something serious.

I could see not calling 911 if all he heard was a scream or something, but this was much more than that.

I think we’ve all had situations where we’ve asked ourselves “should I call 911?” For me, and I think most people, this easily passes the burden with which we would debate doing so.

Reposting summary with link.

https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/brad-simpson-suzanne-simpson-missing-realtor-19830007.php

• For 10 years, Brad worked as a property manager for a local real estate company, but things ended badly with a nasty legal dispute; it's a long and complicated situation, but it looks like Brad was double-dealing.
• Brad is an investor in numerous real estate and construction ventures; he is linked to 15 Texas companies, most of which are defunct, while four are still listed as active.
• AmEx has sued Brad twice for non-payment

 

[bestill]

Sounds like Brad is a ticking time bomb! I agree with the posts about the neighbor should have called. He was acting like Gladys Kravitz for a reason. He knew something was going on, he saw it, he heard it, he went looking for it, he should have reported it!

This couple reminds me of Suzanne and Barry in Colorado.

Agree, at least this college aged daughter isn't scared to say that she thinks her dad hurt her mom. JMO

Something else to take into account - the neighbor is an elderly person.

I live near San Antonio and know the area of this case very well. It has been reported in every story I have read that the neighbor is elderly. It is very possible that this neighbor is scared, maybe lives alone and is very scared based on knowledge of the husband's personality, etc. The neighbor could also be suffering from some early onset disease such as Parkinson's or maybe even Alzheimer's that make normal life difficult to live, much less handle outlier type events. My father deals with some of this so I do know what I am talking about.

Before anyone states something like "Well if I was the neighbor, I would have....". You are not the neighbor and you do not know the situation.

If I pick up on any additional information on this case through online news outlets or radio/TV I will post up. I know someone personally who knows this family so I will be paying specific attention in the coming days (hopefully resolved soon obviously).

Also at the link above: “As of Thursday evening, Brad Simpson’s cellphone data showing where he went for two hours after a neighbor saw him fight with his wife, Suzanne, has not been analyzed.”

Why has it not been analyzed yet?? I feel
like this search warrant should be very prioritized. This could give a big crack into the case if we knew where he went in those 2 hrs sunday night/monday morning

Also, I'm sure the neighbor feels absolutely awful and the judgement and blame from strangers on the internet does nothing but make that burden heavier. Yes, we all wish that phone call had been made, but the neighbor is not the perp in this case.

Exactly. We all wanted that call to be made but it wasn’t. I’m sure the neighbor already feels awful and judging him further isn’t gonna help.

I’m sure there’s a reason. Perhaps they don’t have his phone, or he hasn’t provided the password. In that case they’d be reliant on the returns from a subpoena on his phone provider.

What's the area like around there, anyone know? Ring cameras on homes, cameras along a business strip, traffic cams? They might have to gather video bit by bit to track his movements in the car. That is slow work.
