SAN ANTONIO – A search at a southeast Bexar County landfill for evidence in Suzanne Clark Simpson’s disappearance was tied to a sealed search warrant, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
The warrant was signed on Saturday after it was filed by the Texas Department of Public Safety, sources told KSAT.
The Texas Department of Public Safety told KSAT that the landfill is one of four areas they searched in connection with Simpson, an Olmos Park mother of four and Realtor who was last seen on Sunday, Oct. 6.
Texas DPS asked KSAT to not reveal the exact location due to the ongoing investigation.
According to Texas DPS, they concluded their search on Monday but will return on Tuesday.
Sealed warrants are common in federal cases but are rarely used in county cases. The seal can remain in place for up to 31 days and only can be used if an attorney establishes in court that publicly disclosing the contents of the case would harm the case.
Suzanne Simpson’s husband, Brad Simpson, was arrested early Wednesday, Oct. 9, and booked in the Kendall County Jail on charges of assault causing bodily injury-family violence and unlawful restraint, records show. The following day, he was transferred to the Bexar County Jail, where he remains on a $2 million bond.
On Wednesday, investigators searched the couple’s home in Olmos Park and surrounding areas but declined to say what, if any, evidence was found.
On Friday, multiple agencies searched an area along Interstate 10 in Boerne. A search party was seen in the 33000 block of I-10, near Highway 87 — about a mile away from where Brad Simpson was arrested.
Authorities did not say if anything of significance was found in any of the searches.
