SAN ANTONIO — Law enforcement could be seen at a landfill in east Bexar County on Monday, searching for evidence connected to Suzanne Simpson, officials said. It's the latest in a series of locations where groups have looked for the missing Olmos Park woman over the last week, including Boerne and the block where she lives.
Texas Rangers, the Department of Public Safety and Olmos Park police could be seen assisting in the efforts, which ended around 4 p.m. A DPS spokesperson said they expected to return to the location Tuesday, but couldn't specify what brought them to the landfill.
Authorities were also continuing to look in Kendall County on Monday.
Simpson has been missing since the evening of Sunday, Oct. 6, when officials said she disappeared from the 500 block of East Olmos Drive where she lives. Her husband, 53-year-old Brad Simpson, was arrested last week after neighbors told police he tried to physically keep her from leaving; he faces charges of assault and unlawful restraint.
He has not been accused by law enforcement on his wife's disappearance, but authorities said he has continued to be uncooperative in their investigation. A bond hearing scheduled for Brad Simpson this week was cancelled and he is on a U.S. Marshals hold, meaning that if he bonds out, he will have remain detained until he can be retrieved by the federal agency.
At a San Antonio prayer vigil Sunday night, Suzanne's mother told KENS 5 she didn't think her daughter was still alive, saying the situation was "hard to comprehend."
“It took me a little while to come to the conclusion that she would have called me, so in my brain I felt she was dead at that point,” Barbara Clark said.
