SAN ANTONIO — After authorities came up empty-handed searching a landfill for anything connected to Suzanne Simpson, they are now determining their next steps.
Meanwhile, members of a local nonprofit is trying to do what they can to help.
Simpson, a 51-year-old Olmos Park realtor and mother of four, has been missing for nearly two weeks now. On Friday morning, Search & Support San Antonio started its search for clues in the same area where law enforcement began theirs on Oct. 7: a wooded area near Simpson's Olmos Park home.
“We are just going to provide additional support in terms of an unannounced search, where we can perhaps be of some assistance, to help find Suzanne,” said Lori Wittmeyer, a case intake manager with Search & Support San Antonio.
Simpson has been missing since Oct. 6. Police say a neighbor saw her arguing with her husband, Brad Simpson, in front of their home on East Olmos Drive.
Brad Simpson was arrested three days later in Kendall County on related charges. Authorities have said he has been uncooperative in the investigation ever since.
Subsequent searches in a wooded area near the home, a property in Boerne and a landfill east of San Antonio have yielded no evidence.
Search & Support waited to begin their search so they didn't interfere with law enforcement.
“We are here to try and find answers, because there's a family out there that's hurting,” said Wittmeyer.
The nonprofit is providing a second set of eyes, hoping to find a clue that will help law enforcement.
Authorities told KENS 5 on Friday that there was nothing new to report from their efforts, nor any information regarding additional search areas.
Search & Support says they will continue to search where it makes sense to look.
“So if we find areas that make sense to search, we’ll be there," Wittmeyer said. "And, of course, we are respectful of law enforcement."
The nonprofit says no tip is too small. If you know anything about the case, you're urged to contact the Olmos Park Police Department at (210) 822-2000 or Search & Support San Antonio at (210) 372-7143.
