Husband of missing Olmos Park woman arrested on family violence charges in Kendall County​

The husband of a woman at the center of a missing persons case out of Olmos Park has been arrested on family violence charges, according to the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office.

Brad Simpson, 53, was booked early Wednesday morning on charges of assault causing bodily injury-family violence and unlawful restraint. His bond amount is still pending.

He was arrested off Interstate 10 East on a frontage Road in Kendall County, Olmos Park police said.

The Olmos Park Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety are searching for Simpson’s wife, Suzanne Clark Simpson, who has been missing since Sunday.

During a news conference on Wednesday, Olmos Park Police Chief Fidel Villegas said Brad Simpson is not currently a suspect in his wife’s disappearance at this time.

Suzanne Clark Simpson was last seen around 11 p.m. Sunday in the 500 block of East Olmos Drive, near Shook Avenue. Police said she was wearing a black dress that she went out in that night.

Sergeant Deon Cockrell said the search began in a woods area near Simpson’s home. Roads are closed off as the investigation continues and will be for the next 24 hours, according to police.

Police said there was a disturbance between the Simpsons after they left The Argyle in Alamo Heights between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Sunday.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Brad Simpson told officers that at 3 p.m. on Monday, their child’s school called him and advised him that their child had not been picked up from school. Suzanne Clark Simpson typically picks up their child from school, the affidavit states.

Villegas said Brad Simpson was supposed to have an appointment with him about his missing wife, but he was not cooperative and didn’t show up.

Police said they spoke with a neighbor who reported he saw the couple in a physical altercation on Sunday night. He added that he heard screams from a wooded area east of his residence.

Villegas said, to his knowledge, there is no history of domestic violence between the couple, but police are still investigating. However, he said many witnesses reported to police that there had been tension between the family.

Villegas said officers searched that wooded area and found two articles that they’re looking into, but he did not give any details about what those items were. He said he does not want people to try to search for Suzanne Simpson without police supervision.

“We’re very concerned,” Villegas said.

Suzanne Simpson’s cell phone is also missing, according to the chief. He said they’re working on obtaining search warrants to investigate the family’s home and trying to locate the cellphone.

Villegas also said they were looking into other properties that the family owns as well.

Olmos Park police are asking the public for tips in connection with Brad Simpon’s vehicle, a 2019 dark-colored GMC Sierra pickup truck. They are looking for any people who may have seen the truck Sunday night after the family violence incident.

[Guess Who]

With all the screaming and chasing around the yard and everything that the neighbor witnessed, why didn’t he/she call 911? If I saw that going on with my neighbors, I would call.

I guess it might depend on the type of relationship you had with that neighbor and the personalities involved. I can see me definitely calling for some and thinking "meh" on a couple of them because they are drama all the time.

Judge delays Brad Simpson murder trial by at least 60 days

Brad Simpson returned to court for a pre-trial hearing as he prepares to face trial next month in the disappearance and presumed murder of his wife, Suzanne.

Judge delays Brad Simpson murder trial by at least 60 days​

The murder trial of Brad Simpson has been delayed after a judge granted the state’s request for a continuance during a pre-trial hearing Tuesday.

Prosecutors told the court they need more time to review a large volume of evidence that has continued to come in since the original discovery deadline last fall. The judge agreed, pushing back the trial by at least 60 days.


During the hearing, defense attorneys also requested personnel files for three law enforcement officers involved in the investigation. The judge ordered those records to be subpoenaed and reviewed privately to determine whether any material must be shared with the defense.

Prosecutors also asked the court to consider a future hearing on whether certain statements made by Suzanne Simpson could be admitted at trial. Defense attorneys said they plan to formally oppose that request.

A new trial date has not yet been announced.

Well I guess it is good the P is still receiving more evidence so long as it isn't "evidence' from the defense or something. D wants personnel files of LE. Hmmm.

Going to reserve assuming much here and wait and see.

Trial delayed bites, I always think of the family, it's very hard on them.

Latest move sparks new questions in Suzanne Simpson murder case​

The dispute continues over what information from the personnel file of the Olmos Park police chief, who led the investigation into Suzanne Simpson's presumed killing, will be turned over as evidence. The department head has been accused of letting the Olmos Park mayor peruse physical evidence in the murder case – a highly unusual and problematic accusation – and several lawsuits linked to his conduct.

Simpson’s attorney wants personnel files for Olmos Park Police Chief Fidel Villegas, including files from his tenure at the San Antonio Police Department, Floresville ISD Police Department, Windcrest Police Department, Olmo Park Police Department and Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. However, the City of San Antonio has chimed in now, asking the court to review the chief’s SAPD personnel files.

“The City prays that the Court conduct an in camera inspection of the sought-after information, order the release of only those records which constitute exculpatory information or material impeachment evidence,” San Antonio Assistant City Attorney James Kopp’s motion states.

Essentially, the city wants to keep Villegas’ SAPD personnel file out of the evidence log except for what the judge finds – in a private review in his chambers – could raise legal questions over Villegas’ reputation as a witness in the trial. It’s the latest in a long back and forth as Simpson’s attorney raises questions over Villegas, and other investigators’, credibility.

Villegas is among multiple parties subject to a gag order, restricting MySA from contacting him for comment. Villegas’ longest tenure was at SAPD. He served on the department from 1989 until 2015, according to the records demand from Simpson’s attorney. But he has a series of short-lived positions at the other agencies in the greater San Antonio area after that, according to subsequent subpoenas. Less than a year served at Floresville ISD from 2015 to 2016, just over a year with BCSO from May of 2020 to May of 2021 and less than 3 months in Windcrest from the end of 2023 to early 2024.

In 2016, Villegas joined the Converse Police Department where he served as chief. He announced his resignation in 2020, about two years after a lawsuit was settled accusing him of retaliating against a female officer after she alleged the city manager was sexually harassing her. The lawsuit was settled out of court with terms that left both parties "satisfied," according to court records obtained by MySA.

Brad Simpson was set to face trial before a jury of his peers this month. Though, this back and forth over witness credibility, personnel records, and the state saying evidence still pouring in has delayed the trial for an unknown length of time. Both sides of the murder case are set to appear before a judge for a status update on April 1.

Defense claims mayor viewed evidence in Suzanne Simpson murder case

Brad Simpson’s defense is challenging three key law enforcement witnesses, alleging the Olmos Park police chief let the mayor view evidence after issuing gag order.

Defense claims mayor viewed evidence in Suzanne Simpson murder case​

Attorneys for Brad Simpson, the husband accused in the murder of Suzanne Simpson, have filed a new motion targeting three members of law enforcement expected to testify for the state.

Simpson’s defense team is seeking personnel and internal records for the three individuals, arguing the information could be used to challenge their credibility as witnesses.

According to the motion, the defense is requesting the files of Olmos Park Police Chief Fidel Villegas, Olmos Park Police Sgt. Melissa Campbell and Texas Ranger Jesse Perez.

The motion alleges Chief Villegas allowed Olmos Park Mayor Erin Harrison to privately review physical evidence connected to the Suzanne Simpson case. The defense claims the alleged review occurred after a gag order was issued, raising questions about who had access to evidence and when.

The filing also names Campbell, citing past civil rights and employment-related lawsuits. It further raises concerns about Ranger Perez, stating he was placed on administrative leave in connection with the shooting of Marcus McVae in a separate, high-profile case in the San Antonio area.

Simpson’s attorneys argue they are entitled to review any records that could potentially be used to question the credibility of investigators involved in the case.

The defense asked the judge to order internal affairs files, training records, personnel files and other internal documents to be turned over. A judge has now ordered prosecutors to obtain the records and provide them to the court for review.

Long-awaited trial date for Suzanne Simpson murder case hit with delays​

The status hearing for Brad Simpson, the Olmos Park man accused of killing his wife Suzanne Simpson, was delayed until May 14. This marks yet another in a long series of delays, primarily requested by the Bexar County District Attorney's Office.

However, this latest hurdle is shrouded in mystery. There was no motion for continuance filed. No clear documentation explaining why the judge ordered a 45-dealy for the hearing was available in the Bexar County District Clerk's Office, and the DA's office says they're unable to say whether they asked for this delay. Apparently, they're bound by the same unusual gag order issued by the judge that prevented any family members or witnesses from speaking to the press.

"There is a gag order in place on the Brad Simpson case that prohibits us from discussing any aspects of this case with the media," the DA's office told MySA. "So, you will need to contact the 437th District Court directly for that information."

MySA reached out to the court coordinator for additional information but did not hear back by publication time.

I'm about to gag. I'm so tired of these delays. They have gotten ridiculous.
