Background
Investigators said the couple was involved in a dispute with one another prior to Suzanne Simpson’s October 2024 disappearance
Brad Simpson reported Suzanne Simpson missing the following evening. Despite extensive searches, her remains have not been found.
Bexar County court records show that Brad Simpson was charged with murder on Nov. 7, 2024. He was indicted one month later.
His business partner, James Cotter, has also been charged in connection with the case.
Cotter is accused of helping Simpson hide an AK-47 that was illegally modified. Authorities said the firearm was modified into a “machine gun” that was not correctly registered.
In October 2025, a judge ruled to have Cotter’s GPS monitor removed.
Surveillance footage gathered by investigators showed Brad Simpson driving with three large trash bags, a heavy-duty trash can and a “large bulky item” wrapped in a blue tarp the day after his wife’s disappearance, an arrest warrant affidavit previously revealed.
