Search for Missing San Antonio Mom Takes a Dark Turn
San Antonio is currently gripped by a chilling case involving Suzanne Clark Simpson, a beloved mother of four who mysteriously disappeared on the night of October 6. Unfortunately, this case has taken a troubling turn as an arrest warrant for her husband, Brad Simpson, has now been made public, shedding light on a series of unsettling events that unfolded following her disappearance.
The Night of the Incident
According to the arrest warrant, Brad was observed physically assaulting Suzanne at a party held at an exclusive venue known as The Argyle. Witnesses, including their own daughter, reported seeing the altercation, leading to growing concerns about Suzanne’s well-being immediately after the incident. A neighbor even recounted hearing what they believed were Suzanne’s desperate screams as she attempted to escape from her husband that night. Sadly, this was the last time anyone saw or heard from her.
Timeline and Discovery
It wasn’t until nearly 24 hours after Suzanne was last seen that anyone reported her missing. A family friend, concerned after speaking with Brad, reached out to the police. Brad, following shortly behind, claimed he realized she was missing when their daughter’s school notified him that she failed to pick her up the next day.
But red flags soon emerged. Surveillance footage revealed that Brad had himself dropped their daughter off at school that morning, contradicting his story about seeing Suzanne. Inconsistencies grew further when Brad initially told investigators he had seen his wife at home afterward, only to later deny having seen her since the party.
Strange Behaviors
Moreover, the investigation uncovered that Brad had abruptly cut off Suzanne’s cell phone service that very night. Upon questioning, he blamed a lost phone at The Argyle but then acknowledged taking her phone away. Curious behavior, right?
A Suspicious Journey
Things took an even more suspicious turn when authorities reviewed Brad’s movements post-disappearance. Shortly after leaving the party, surveillance cameras captured him driving his truck, which had two white trash bags and a large ice chest in the bed. Later, a series of stops—including a quick visit to a Whataburger and a Home Depot where he purchased items like Quikrete cement, Clorox disinfectant spray, and trash bags—triggered alarm bells for investigators.
Adding to the mystery, Brad also made an unusual stop at a local dump, where he subsequently returned home without the trash bags but still carrying a blue tarp that had concealed an undisclosed “bulky item.” It was discovered that on the same day he was dropping off his daughter at school, he had a nearly 30-minute detour during which he stayed in Medina County for 13 minutes.
The Shocking Evidence
Days later, investigators found burnt cellphones and a laptop in the Simpson’s backyard fire pit. Even more troubling is the revelation that Suzanne had confided in a bank employee about being subjected to physical abuse by Brad and even mentioned if she were to go missing, authorities should “look for her in a lake.”
Further analysis revealed Brad had been using a technique known as “Lock Down” mode on his own phone, a method that is suspiciously used to avoid tracking. In addition, investigators found troubling notes on his burnt phone, titled “Last will and testament,” which included apologies regarding past assaults on Suzanne.
Community’s Concern
The ongoing mystery of Suzanne Clark Simpson’s disappearance has left the San Antonio community shaken. Friends and family are desperate for answers, with everyone praising her as a devoted mother who would never voluntarily disappear and abandon her children.
Residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and report any information regarding this disturbing case. As authorities continue to search for Suzanne, her loved ones are holding onto hope and seeking justice.
This developing story serves as a grim reminder of the importance of awareness and support among friends and family, particularly in circumstances involving domestic abuse. We will continue following this harrowing tale and bring you updates as they unfold.
