I don't know all the facts and always wait until I've seen all evidence prior to drawing any sort of final conclusions.

Based on my knowledge there are zero other suspects at this point. The current knowledge/information while not hard clear evidence makes him look pretty bad. It's almost all circumstantial, but I'm guessing there is a lot more the public doesn't know.

Quote

Brad Simpson, the husband of missing Olmos Park mother of four Suzanne Clark Simpson, is now facing two additional charges, both of which are felonies. It marks a troubling trend for the father of four, who was the last person seen with his wife before she went missing October 6.

This lead cracks me up.

Because the cops didn't announce what they were and the media has to wait until they're made public.

I thought it could have been the felony for failure to register the short barrel rifle with the ATF, and some combination of giving it to another person/possesion/hiding etc.

For the fun of it I just asked ChatGPT to suggest alternatives to the husband in this case.  It gave me 16 options broken into seven categories:

• Personal life issues:
• Mental health or stress:
• Financial or professional troubles:
• Potential outside threats:
• Character attacks on the investigation
• The lack of physical evidence
• Social life and unusual behaviors

Were any of them plausible?

A neighbor told investigators he saw the married couple having a physical altercation outside their home in the 500 block of East Olmos Drive that same Sunday night. From his window, the neighbor says he saw Brad Simpson grabbing his wife by her upper torso to gain control of her body, according to the warrant for the husband’s arrest.

“[The neighbor] stated he observed that Ms. Simpson was attempting to get away from Mr. Simpson’s grasp as he tried to pull her downwards,” the warrant reads. “[The neighbor] told me that he observed that after an approximately 1-minute struggle, both Mr. Simpson and Ms. Simpson were last seen headed westbound from his residence. [The neighbor] advised that it appeared Mr. Simpson was clearly attempting to keep Ms. Simpson from running away.”

The witness told officers he observed the physical altercation between Brad and Suzanne Simpson around 11 p.m. that Sunday night, and that was the last time anyone has seen the mother. The neighbor grabbed a flashlight and attempted to search for the couple but was unsuccessful in locating them.

That’s when the neighbor says he heard two or three loud screams for a wooded area near the Olmos Park homes. Then, about an hour later, he says he saw Brad Simpson start his black 2019 GMC pickup truck and leave the couple’s residence. The husband reportedly returned home a couple hours later.

I know we are a palace of degenerates here, but I would think if y’all heard and saw a woman being harmed that you would at the very least call 911. These types of neighbors are always calling the cops bc a suspicious person is in the neighborhood or a suspicious car or someone’s pet is loose. And here this guy is listening and watching what were the final moments of her life most likely and was her only hope and he did nothing. These types of neighbors are always on Nextdoor which is an orgy of racism and this guy didn’t even do the bare minimum. 
 

I know I’m not a big gal but I’d have called and gone out there with a fucking baseball bat. He was her only hope and he did nothing. Infuriating. Yes her hubby did it. And maybe had help from his work partner. Fuck that neighbor. He went out there with a flashlight and did fuck all else.

A quick peek at the bexar CAD show their address to be 520 E Olmos Dr.    There are no houses directly across the street to make viewing viable and the windows in the house on the west side are blocked by the Simpson's house.  So it's the neighbor at 510 (on the right in the picture below) next to them that had to be the one to report it.  Even at 11pm at night that would be easy and clear enough to see in the level of detail the witness reported.   They could still be making it up, but it seems credible.

 

 

[0xdeadbeef 1628]

The part that confuses me is where the witness says they went. 'westbound' is down the street past the neighbor's house... there are trees, but no "wooded" area.   The wooded area is north across the street.

My senior year in high school, I was driving back from a party with some buddies in my truck about 12 AM. There was a curve in the road and as I drove into the curve my headlights lit up a parking lot where I saw a guy shove a women full force about 5 feet where she fell onto her back. It took a couple of seconds to realize what happened when I drove over the curb and into a field next to the parking lot to turn around towards the parking lot.

Driving across the field towards the parking lot I started honking and my friend stuck his head out the window yelling "Dude, we are going to fuck you up."

Unfortunately, both the abusive guy and the women were freaked out and started running to a car where they jumped in and drove off. Small chase ensued but I pulled off once they got on the highway.

Had an ex that was living in DC.  We were still very close, and probably would have gotten married had she not gone up there.  She calls me one morning about 3am and is absolutely hysterical.  Dude she'd been seeing hit her, pushed her down some stairs, and other shit.  I was absolutely livid.  Eventually, I coaxed her into giving me his phone number.  

 

I send dude a text message that says "You even talk to her again and I will fly up there that day and I will beat you to death with my bare hands".   Dude says something along the lines of "Yeah, that's a lot of fucking talk for someone not even here."  

 

Shit got me real angry.  I buy a plane ticket online and text him the screen shot and say "Tick Tock motherfucker"   

 

[BurntEyes 5863]

Just going to quickly address the why didn't person hearing things get involved or call 911. 

The vast majority of the time abusive relationships are on going items. There's a high likelihood that this wasn't the first time the neighbor was aware of a fight or argument. Most likely, they had heard them for years. Should they have call 911? Yes absolutely. However, it's very plausible they had tons of times before and had reached the its "she is never gonna leave" mindset and given up on trying to help. It happens, and I'm not justifying it, but it's logical.

As for getting directly involved, there a reason domestic abuse calls are all police officers most hated calls. A vast majority of the time, despite being beaten near to death or whatever abuse, women extremely frequently switch to defense of the man often in violent or physical ways. It not physical they do typically start defending him verbally and rarely press charges. This usually happens over and over again. I'm not victim blaming but it's just the sad truth.

Jumping into a fight as a 3rd party has a good possibility of 2 people attacking you. The abusive party and the abused party. Or.. the abused comes to the defense of the abuser and you end up in a fight with the abuser. If you get physically involved in a highly emotional abusive situation, one should be prepared to become a part or the physical altercation with the understanding that whatever the result it's going to be 2 people against 1 in the story. That's if, you don't get killed by a hot headed asshole cause then it would be 2 people to none.

I want to be clear I'm not advocating to do nothing. Asking if someone needs help and offering help is what I think morally and ethically one should do in that situation. Offer the abused help in leaving, a shelter a ride or whatever the specific situation dictates. Just be prepared for the sad reality and understand what you're dealing with prior.
