(moo i wouldn't describe a 5 year old as a "toddler" but instead a " young child" or "preschooler". But she's going through a lot certainly so very understandable. Ps assuming the article is correct)

I’ve seen 5yo as the age of the youngest in other MSM sources as well.
I think a lot of people have a fairly broad interpretation for toddler, but I’d venture more to say, in my personal experience, the youngest child, especially with a 10 year spread to the next closest sibling, is often thought of as the “baby” and younger than their chronological age for longer than other siblings.
But gosh- the thought of Suzanne’s poor kids at this time… no matter their ages… I can’t even fathom the fear and confusion they must be feeling. And her poor mother. Hard to think about their pain.

Barbara Clark fears daughter Suzanne Simpson, missing for a week, is no longer alive​

Clark admitted to us that she doesn’t believe Suzanne is alive. Barbara told us she spoke to Suzanne regularly and if Suzanne was alive, Suzanne would have already contacted her.

"Suzanne and I had an opportunity to talk an hour before a lot of this has happened and I don’t understand why and what happened and I hope someday I will be able to understand the situation," said Barbara.

…

Barbara said that wasn’t the first time Suzanne and Brad had a disagreement and Barbara was going to ask Suzanne to leave.

Geez, this case is not going to end well. All the "writing is on the wall" in my opinion. The husband, Brad, looks like a creep. Mom's know.

I really hate how many times we see this ,it happens way more then it should. May there be justice and I hope the mom can find her to lay her to rest. Jmoo

My working theory is BS is a narcissist, and they will argue in public to humiliate the other person, old-money or not.

Loved ones hold vigil for missing Olmos Park woman as search approaches one week​

• Suzanne's mother is shocked and heartbroken and wants to speak to Suzanne's husband. She had a lot of admiration for him and wants to ask him WHY.
• She does not think Suzanne is alive.
• She says she spoke with Suzanne the night of her disappearance and Suzanne told her the things Brad had done to her physically.
• She came up with a plan and hoped Suzanne would move in with her, and have her little toddler go to the elementary school in her neighborhood. She never got to tell Suzanne the plan.

Re: “she had a lot of admiration for him…”. Typical narcissist… being charming despite being rotten on the inside.

Totally a narcissist and he was about to lose his “possessions” (wife, children, money, and appearance) (speculation)- she probably told him she was leaving him and he just could not handle not being in control. Rage took over.

What I just can’t wrap my head around is how on earth could LE not have found any evidence of foul play? I’m hoping that they did and that they are just holding their cards close to their chest. I can’t imagine that he would be THAT good at covering up a crime scene.
- how can there not be traces of blood in the house, the woods, his truck?

Strangulation, head injury,…lots of bloodless violent acts that can result in death? This is just so sad and confusing

Yes they do! Kelsey Berreth’s mom knew too.
Sadly trusting mom’s intuition on this one.

I can certainly understand the family and friends not calling if she had either confided in them or the witnessed the situation at the club. I see a difference though with the neighbor. She is outside of her home. There is screaming and yelling. The neighbor sees her being "walked off" forcibly but not going back to her home. Then, he hears screaming in the distance. He doesn't see her return. This is not the same as the public altercation or her conversations with a friend, regardless of what is reported about the police and culture.

From an article: "The neighbor told police that they had seen “Ms. Simpson attempting to get away from Mr. Simpson’s grasp as he tried to pull her downwards” outside a home on East Olmos Drive.

The witness said it appeared Brad Simpson “was clearly attempting to keep Ms. Simpson from running away” and that the couple was later seen walking away from the house together.

The neighbor then told investigators that shortly after he heard two to three screams coming from a brushy area east of his home." Texas realtor disappeared after party as neighbors heard shouting in woods

In one of the interviews her mother mentions what happened that night being alcohol related. Her mother is very composed, no judgment, just an observation. Makes me think that the loved ones may have witnessed more drama and this isn't as shocking to them as it is to us. I may be reading this wrong but the fact that Brad won't tell where Suzanne is shows he has no remorse. He doesn't care one bit about her, her loved ones nor the children. All JMO

Responding in a "neutral" way is one day to deal with narcissists. I think the mom has some experience and also was prepared to take action for her daughter but BS acted first. Also sounds like BS is a mean drunk.

This is speculation on my part, from what we know at this point.

Their police department understands they are employed to serve the residents. If you don’t belong in the town they will come down hard on you. If you reside there they will protect you.

Just to clarify, would the police protect the abuser because he is a resident? I don't want to misinterpret anything.

If the resident had called 911 the timeline probably would not have changed. Unless the Olmos Police got lucky and observed something illegal, they would have not done anything other than identify the situation as a resident and they would have moved on.

Even a simple "well-being check" may have saved her.
The police would take her statement (and his) and follow domestic violence protocols. Bring her to the hospital to document her injuries, collect evidence, or at the very least provide her and the children the hotline to their local DV shelter.
If she was screaming, she was still alive.
She could have been saved.

This will be interesting to see how Susan’s disappearance is resolved. This sort of thing just doesn’t occur in Olmos Park.

I try to avoid passive language.
Susan did not just "disappear". Her husband attacked her and likely killed her. There is no resolution. It's too late.

DV (like childhood sexual abuse) happens in rich and poor families. It doesn't discriminate.

edit: thank you for your knowledge about the area, I agree that crime is likely under reported in an affluent neighborhood.

I know it isn’t likely, but I am hoping for a “Gone Girl” scenario here.

That would be nice, but with a 5yo (plus three older kids) left behind with a mean father, I just don't see it.

Yes! That is exactly how to respond to a narcissist. One thing to never do is argue with them. It’s a no win situation with a narc.

Yes, we can consider this info a Public Service Announcement. It's a hard, long lesson to learn on your own.

I live in a rural area and one night, several years ago heard raised voices...a male and female arguing and could tell which house it was coming from. Not on my street but to the east of us...a very large creek/river divides us and the water seems to carry the sound farther.

Then a woman screaming like she was being murdered and several gunshots following that. I called 911 immediately while my DH was saying oh that is just drunk people having a party. Don't bother.

It was a rental house and every weekend a large drunken party would occur but this was different than a usual weekend. The gunshots especially.

I gave 911 explicit instructions on which house it was though I did not know the house #. 10 minutes later police showed up at my house.

IMO this, having the police show up at your home, is why people may hesitate to report. I live in an NYC apartment and called 911 on a worse-than-usual fight in a neighbor's apartment. They asked my apartment number and I told them I'd meet them downstairs instead. I didn't want the neighbors to know I was the one calling in case they decided to come after me.

I called the police on a father abusing his daughter years ago. I heard everything through the thin walls of my adjacent townhouse. The police talked to me after arresting the father and after he was released he stalked my front door to intimidate me. If the neighbors were already afraid of BS I suppose I can understand a bit why they didn’t call LE. But I would do what I did over again and I wish the neighbors had too.
