Search for missing mother Suzanne Clark Simpson focuses on wooded areas of Olmos Park

SAN ANTONIO – Nearly two weeks after Olmos Park mother Suzanne Clark Simpson disappeared, the city’s mayor said the search would resume within city limits.

City of Olmos Park Mayor Erin Harrison said the Olmos Park Police Department called upon the resources of Texas Search and Rescue, a nonprofit organization based in Austin.

Harrison said the search for Suzanne Simpson by OPPD and Texas Search and Rescue “will now focus on the wooded areas in and around Olmos Park.”

As the Olmos Park police investigation continues, Harrison said the department is not calling on volunteers to search for Suzanne Simpson.

Olmos Park Police Department Chief Fidel Villegas told KSAT Saturday morning that his department or the Texas Department of Public Safety would provide the results of their search for Suzanne Simpson at a later, unspecified time.

Villegas also said OPPD has no further comment at this time.

DPS, the Texas Rangers and the Olmos Park Police Department ended their search for Suzanne Simpson at a southeast Bexar County landfill Thursday after DPS said they found no evidence linked to the disappearance of Suzanne Simpson.

On Monday, crews began the arduous process of searching the landfill in hopes of finding any trace of her.

The mother of four and the real estate agent have been missing since October 6 and the search has intensified in recent days as law enforcement focuses on the area.

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

Authorities have searched four areas since her disappearance: Simpson’s home, the Olmos Park pond, 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 bail totaling $2 million after being arrested in Kendall County last week on domestic violence and unlawful restraint charges. He is implicated in the disappearance of his wife.

Brad Simpson faces a federal felony charge for illegal possession of a firearm, according to court records obtained by KSAT Investigates Tuesday evening.

Investigators discovered a short-barreled shotgun that was not registered to Brad Simpson at his home, the affidavit states.

According to an affidavit obtained by KSAT, investigators searched the couple’s Olmos Park home on Oct. 9 after executing a search warrant related to the disappearance of Suzanne Clark Simpson.
