Brad Simpson is currently behind bars for this incident, charged with assault and unlawful restraint.

“This whole thing is just a strategy regarding a homicide investigation or what they think is a homicide investigation. And so, they’re using this to keep him in jail for 30 days,” said Robert Boyce, former NYPD Chief of Detectives.

Police say Brad Simpson was uncooperative.

Investigators expanded their search for Suzanne Simpson to a dump last week, but found no sign of her.

Cotter faces criminal charges including “tampering with evidence.”

As for Simpson, his lawyer calls the accusations against him “ridiculous.”
