TX Suzanne Clark Simpson missing in San Antonio, last seen by friends at dinner - 6 October 2024 *Arrest* #2

From my calculations, that gives about 50 mins for the disposal of the body, is that consistent with your calculations?

Yes I have about the same if he made it all the way to Medina, TX. 41-46 minutes to dispose in the area to make the 1:41pm picture on HWY46.
Still skeptical about entering the town of Medina. Maybe instead of going 16 to Medina he went north on FM 3240 to access a back way into Cotter property which pinged trucks GPS data as Medina TX due to proximity.

Perhaps...am I dreaming or did one of the local channels say it was specifically a dump site for Apache (the dumpster company)? And that's an Apache dumpster (as well as many of the personal trash bins around...I think they're one of the main companies that services out there, right?).

Right, I've been posting that idea for a few weeks now. You can see it yourself at 134 Sheppard Ave on a black small dumpster there. A big red (very suspicious) dumpster is at 13956 Broadway St, but you need to visit an Apache Disposal business site to recognize that this big red dumpster matches the shape and color of the one (apparently used by this company) at this address on Broadway St.

I keep forgetting in the affidavit that DPS has surveillance footage of BS truck in Medina, Bandera County,TX. Maybe he did make it into town or private cameras in the vicinity.

We know he mixed the concrete from photographic evidence in the affidavit. Wet concrete splashes in the rear passenger area and truck bed. Hmmm? If body dumpster dumped, what’s the concrete and bucket for?

^^^^ my thoughts too

Ah re: the Medina dumpsters… that may have been what led to the landfill search and why they were so confident about it?

Here, just remember that the affidavit includes some of what police know, but that document needn't (by the warning near the end of it) disclose ALL that the Affiant knows. So, my guess is that police already knew there was a very important relatively long additional stop by this truck, not reported in the affidavit, before it got to Medina, Texas. I assume police are just frustrated, since, despite knowing that, they have not been able to find Suzanne Simpson's body. But, regarding that, police might not have done this type of routing calculation, and police might have been confused by other mistakes (like the idea that Suzanne's body was in a landfill or that her body was within a fraction of a mile of the ranch).

No, I computed a burial location some miles outside (and still on the way to Medina). This burial site (not far, at all, from TX-16) was where, it seems, the 1 bag of concrete was used. So, the visit to Medina (after the burial) was, seemingly, just to get rid of the evidence of the burial, according to my theory of this alleged crime.

In other words, I'm guessing he may have used an Apache Disposal dumpster in Medina, Texas, during that 13 mins in that area, to dispose of things like: the empty Quikrete bag, the empty water jug, and the empty, used, 5-gallon Home Depot bucket (with concrete residual still on it). Sadly, depending on how he performed the burial (especially whether the space for the body was large enough), then he also may (or may not) have disposed of the now-empty blue tarp in Medina. Obviously, you'd think he would avoid unrolling that tarp, if possible. On the other hand, he must have been very determined to finish the job, so I suppose, if the body wouldn't fit, then he may have considered all options, however gruesome.

Okay, thanks for traffic-related checks given above. Just using simpler speed=60 mph assumption, I still found a prior mistake of mine that corrects my (now wrong-looking) disposal time of 79 mins down to 66 mins. I'm glad that this now seems closer to what you guys got for the disposal time above. (Again, though, I'm still using this simplistic assumption of 60 mph (or 1 mile/min) for all his highway driving, so 100% ignoring the traffic.)

Again, let me know, when you work out the more exciting result of a predicted body position. Regarding that, the timing actually never came into the calculation that I did, so my estimates of some miles outside Medina (as posted elsewhere), remain unchanged.

If her body was not placed in a dumpster, then she is buried in a very shallow grave. The terrain in this area is very rocky. Having lived in the area for 20 years it is difficult to dig a hole because of all the rocks. Given the short time he had the grave is shallow and it is just a matter of time before it is located. The other possibility is an abandoned well.

 

[DontConsent]

In that case, the Deed would be transferred to the new bank and recorded, and thus added to the land records as them the Grantor and new bank as the Grantee. But the last record (most recent record) is the Deed transfer from Atascosa Bank (their mortgage holder) to them with the payoff of the mortgage. Unless someone personally financed it and paid off their bank and just didn't require any legal paperwork...Regardless, all of that is recorded in the land records. The Deed follows the property, not the person. Hope that makes sense.

Yes and the bexar county tax office is S-L-O-W to update the BCAD so it wouldn’t be showing up in any public data yet.

Also olmos basin and the park is full of coyotes, Racine, possum and other critters at night .

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 two. I'm happy if people re-check my calculations, and I'm happy if police get there first, to preserve anything that can be found (hopefully Suzanne), if my assumptions were close enough.

BTW, I'm subtly telling you that I agree with you (that a shallow grave done with rocks on top of a low point, is VERY possible, and where concrete was seemingly used above that, to keep animals and human from accessing the body. But I'm also gently disagreeing with you, in the sense that another possibility also looks very suspicious to me too. Again, it has to do with the exact position along the road that I obtained from that calculation, and what I could see there, right in that area, first in the satellite imagery, and then later, in other ways.

That makes so much more sense now, thank you. And taxes are coming due in January...ugh my heart breaks for them all.

I had not even thought of that. According to the Bexar County Appraisal District site bcad.org, taxes on that house with the homestead exemption are just over $26,000. Ouch.

Not negating your idea at all. But, I’m wondering if he dug a shallow grave, then wouldn’t you think he would need to use the two bags of concrete to cover the square footage with it being shallow and horizontal (as opposed to deep and narrow)?

I was looking at Cotters property today from Google maps and there is a weird thing (I’ll try and upload it so I can pick your smart brain

That looks structural to me. The scale compared to other landmarks seems way too large for a grave, if that's what you're thinking.

MOO

 

[Bean&Cheese]

I totally agree. I think it’s pre-existing, but it looks like pipes are coming out from the ground a bit north of it… just wondering if it could be a water or sewer access of some sort. (Where she could have been placed)

It almost looks like a skeleton in there with a really big butt (but, I know it’s not haha- it’s just coincidence)
