Missing Texas realtor Suzanne Simpson’s husband ‘forcing state’s hand’ in fight to toss murder case: experts

A Texas court is expected to hear arguments from defense attorneys representing Suzanne Simpson’s husband, the suspect in her disappearance and presumed murder, apparently showing why his murder indictment should be thrown out.

Suzanne Simpson, a 51-year-old real estate agent and mother of four, went missing Oct. 6, 2024, after reportedly fighting with her husband of 22 years, Brad Simpson, in front of their house in Olmos Park in the San Antonio area. Authorities believe Brad caused Suzanne’s death “on or about Sunday, Oct. 6,” records show. 

“In the grand scheme of things … if pre-trial motions were like the Corleone brothers, I’m thinking that the motion to quash is probably Fredo,” Brian Wice, a legal analyst and criminal appellate and post-conviction lawyer, told Fox News Digital.

“I’m not quite sure what Brad Simpson’s lawyers are concerned with. … I think maybe there’s a question of the manner and means of death,” Wice said. “But … even if you’re successful, you’re just asking the state to draft an indictment that will be sufficient.”

Simpson remains in Bexar County’s jail with bonds totaling $3 million and a federal hold by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for the weapons charge. His public defender could not be reached for comment.
