In an affidavit, the neighbor said, “Ms. Simpson was attempting to get away from Mr. Simpson’s grasp as he tried to pull her downwards.”
Text Evidence and a Missing AK-47
The affidavit further reveals that on the night Suzanne disappeared, Brad Simpson texted Cotter, asking him to meet quickly and help him with an urgent matter.
Cotter allegedly agreed to hide an AK-47 at his San Antonio home, which was later found by an ATF K-9 team.
Family Fears Daughter is Dead
Barbara Clark, Suzanne’s mother, told local news she fears her daughter may no longer be alive.
She described a phone call from Suzanne where she mentioned Brad had physically harmed her. Brad Simpson was subsequently arrested on charges including unlawful restraint, assault, and possession of a prohibited weapon.
The investigation is ongoing, though law enforcement has yet to find any evidence linking Suzanne’s disappearance to foul play.
