For those thinking about the e-bike, I heard that police said he ditched the e-bike on/near 85th street, just before catching the cab a block north on 86th street. If police know about this change in his mode of transportation, then I'm not sure why police don't yet have that e-bike now.

This sounds right, BUT... I also heard the suspect was definitely on that northbound Greyhound bus after it stopped in Washington DC. This news from about 1-2 days ago (sorry, I have no link for that, but you can search with DC on Google for it) said police believe that he boarded the bus...

Joe, I agree with what you said in the first paragraph. Furthermore, a Google search gave me an AI overview which says that "most reciprocating saws are now battery-powered (cordless)", meaning that isn't just true (as you said it above) generally for power tools, it's also true specifically for...

About a half hour ago, KSAT mentioned in the story linked below that a reciprocating saw is mentioned in the indictment, so keep your eye on that too. Brad found with reciprocating saw

I believe this is related to the assault charge in the domestic violence affidavit. So, I'd guess the "deadly weapon" refers to Brad's hands (or maybe Brad's arms and hands). In the dv affidavit (where this charge was just a misdemeanor), he allegedly used these to strike Suzanne in the face and...

I never listed TX-16 exclusively. I gave a list of roads (most of them off of TX-16, including quiet and definitely-not-busy ones, and ending in "etc.", so take your pick among those. I said it looks like Suzanne's body was likely hidden to the right of where the truck parked, no matter what...

BTW, here's one tip related to the concrete residue (which the affidavit wrongly refers to as "cement splashes", since Quikrete is technically concrete, not cement). The affidavit points out these splashes/residues were found "in the rear passenger compartment". IMO, this suggests Brad likely...

Here it looks like you are referring to "San Geronimo Creek" (since that is along Texas highway 16 and not far from the turn off to 37). My personal feeling is that he predominantly stuck to Texas routes 46 and 16 (which goes into Medina as Broadway St). There isn't much time (or milage) to...

If erosion can be an accomplice, then I agree with your idea here. Regarding humans, had Brad told anyone, it seems Val would have been top of his list. But my guess is that he told no one, since he seemed to be doing all the critical steps alone and, often, with his phone disabled. I think...

Well, it's concrete, not cement, so first let's get the terminology correct. Personally, I think he used it, somehow. That part is a straightforward deduction from info in the murder affidavit. He bought two bags of Quikrete in cash on Monday, 10/7, at the Home Depot in Boerne, according to that...

That's not theoretically impossible, but it is unlikely because the 1 bag of Quikrete that was reportedly, in that affidavit, found in the garage of Brad Simpson's home in Olmos Park was found with three other things seen that day (10/7) in the bed of that truck, namely the box of heavy-duty...

You might want to listen how Sargent Deon Cockrell of TDPS speaks to local reports at the end of the last press conference about James Valle Cotter. Let me just say that Cockrell sounds very relaxed about Cotter, and Cockrell seems to know that Cotter has nothing to do with where Suzanne Simpson is.

Please check the paragraph #35 on P. 8 of the affidavit. It says there that 1 bag of Quikrete (out of the two he bought at Home Depot on 10/7 was found in his garage in the Simpson home in Olmos Park. In other words, he only used 1 bag, not 2. Basically, this means he either added more (maybe...

Right, I could tell this too by looking at the view from the road in Google StreetView. The ground there looks very hard and dry, although again, I've been focused and spots along the highway and along the river and on something else, noted on external posts on the Internet, that relates the...
