OLMOS PARK, Texas — It has now been one week since a 51-year-old woman has been seen by anybody.
According to authorities, Suzanne Clark Simpson disappeared at about 11 p.m. Sunday, October 6, from the 500 block of East Olmos, less than a mile from Trinity University. She was last seen wearing a long black dress and black heels.
Simpson was reported missing Monday night by her husband, Brad Simpson, who is now in the Bexar County Jail on charges of assault and unlawful restraint.
Numerous searches have been conducted by the Olmos Park Police, Department of Public Safety, Kendall County Sheriff's Office and more. As of Sunday, October 13, she has not yet been found.
The family of Suzanne Simpson has released a statement thanking law enforcement for their efforts.
"As the search for Suzanne continues, we are immensely grateful for the extraordinary efforts of law enforcement," said a FB post from Barton Tinsley Simpson. "The Olmos Park Police, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Rangers, and many others have been vigilant and tireless in their efforts to find Suzanne. We want to extend a special thanks to Chief Fidel Villegas, Ranger Jessie Perez, and the DPS Victim Services team for guiding us through this unimaginable ordeal and helping us protect and support Suzanne’s children."
"We are also deeply thankful to the community and to everyone who has supported and continues to support the search. To all of you who have reached out with love and encouragement, please know that your support means the world to us. We will not stop until we find her."
"As you attend church this morning, please keep Suzanne’s children in your prayers. We ask God to bless them and give us the strength to endure this painful and heartbreaking situation."
Police say Simpson disappeared from her home off East Olmos after she and her husband got into a fight at the Alamo Heights club The Argyle earlier that night.
A neighbor told police they saw her husband physically assault her and then restrain her from getting away.
That same neighbor told police they heard screams from a wooded area nearby later, and observed her husband drive off in his truck for an hour or two.
Officials say Brad Simpson has not been cooperating with the investigation.
This is a developing story.
