No evidence found in landfill search for missing Olmos Park mother Suzanne Clark Simpson

Crews combed through landfill for four days

SAN ANTONIO – The Texas Department of Public Safety said they have found no evidence tied to missing Olmos Park woman Suzanne Clark Simpson after four days of searching at a Southeast Bexar County landfill.

DPS, Texas Rangers and Olmos Park Police Department said they stopped the search on Thursday.

On Monday, crews started the arduous process of combing through the landfill in hopes of finding any trace of her.

The mother of four and Realtor has been missing since Oct. 6, and the search had intensified in recent days as law enforcement focuses on the area.

“On Monday October 10th information gathered during the investigation led law enforcement officers to conduct a search for Simpson at the landfill site located east of San Antonio,” Texas DPS Sgt. Deon Cockrell said in a statement. “After conducting an extensive search consisting of digging and sifting through the municipal solid waste, no evidence was found.”

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

Authorities have searched four areas since her disappearance — Simpson’s home, the Olmos Park Basin, an area along Interstate 10 in Boerne and the landfill.

The missing woman’s husband, 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.

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 the disappearance of Suzanne Clark Simpson.
