“Until Brad chooses to cooperate, we will continue cooperate for him, as we have from the very beginning of this heartbreaking ordeal. This is not how he was raised, and this is not who we are. Our parents instilled in us the values of honoring and protecting others, and they are truly remarkable people.

“The devastation this has caused to our family is overwhelming. Brad’s refusal to cooperate is unacceptable. My sister and brother-in-law have stepped up to take care of the children, but the impact on our parents has been shattering. Our lives have been irreparably changed.

“We will not rest until we find Suzanne.”

This is the second time that Barton Tinsley Simpson has taken to Facebook to share his feelings about Suzanne Clark Simpson’s disappearance.

Last week, he posted that the family’s priorities are to find Suzanne Clark Simpson and comfort her children.

Authorities on Wednesday resumed their search at a landfill in southeast Bexar County for the missing woman.

For the third day, crews continued the arduous process of combing through the landfill in hopes of finding any trace of Suzanne Clark Simpson, who has been missing for nearly 10 days.

Despite the challenges, authorities remain committed to the search effort.

No significant updates were reported early Wednesday morning, as crews continued their work at the site.

In another development, Brad Simpson is facing a federal felony charge for illegally owning a firearm, according to court records obtained by KSAT Investigates on Tuesday evening.

Investigators discovered a short-barreled rifle that was not registered to Brad Simpson in his home, the affidavit said.

According to an affidavit obtained by KSAT, investigators searched the couple’s home in Olmos Park on Oct. 9 after executing a search warrant related to Suzanne Clark Simpson’s disappearance.

Brad Simpson is being held in the Bexar County Jail on bonds totaling $2 million after being arrested in Kendall County last week on charges of family violence and unlawful restraint. He is being questioned in the disappearance of his wife.
