Speaker 1: Crime a art hourly update, breaking crime news.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Now, I'm Jackie Howard. The search for missing mom Suzanne

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: Clark Simpson has entered its third week, while her husband

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: remains behind bars, refusing to cooperate with the investigation. Police

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: and search teams have now searched four locations around San Antonio.

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: Crime on Lines Dave Mike says no new evidence in

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 2: the mom's disappearance has been recovered.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 3: After four days, police have ended the search at a

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: landfill in southeast Bear County. Authorities said they focused on

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 3: the site after GPS data led them there and we're

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: confident they would recover Suzanne's remains, but now admit they

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: found no evidence at the site during their search.

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: Almost Park Police resumed their search for Simpson in wooded

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: areas in and around Almost Park. Cops have enlisted the

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: help of Texas Search and Rescue and are still asking

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: the public to leave the search to the professionals. Foot

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: searchers and dog teams are combing several areas looking for

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: traces of SUSA and Brad. Simpson's defense attorney claims that

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: police are manipulating the public perception of his client with

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: ludicrous charges. Steve Gilmore repeats that Simpson reported Suzanne missing

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 2: immediately after learning she missed the kindergarten pickup. Gilmore also

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: insists that Simpson wanted to cooperate with Olmos Park PDE,

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: but quickly caught on that authorities were trying to obtain

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: and arrest warrant when Chief the Jegis rescheduled their follow

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: up interview three times.

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: Gilmore speculates that prosecutors have no intent to pursue the

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: two misdemeanor charges, pointing out that there is no recorded

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: history of domestic violence in the couple's twenty two years

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: of marriage and the allegations could not be proven in court.

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: Gilmore suggests the only reason Simpson is facing a federal

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: gun charge is to ensure he remains behind bars because

32
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: law enforcement knows there is no chance a judge would

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: uphold a two million dollars bond. Gilmore claims to have

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: a receipt proving Simpson did register the short barrel rifle

35
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: in question.

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: Brad Simpson has been charged with a federal gun charge,

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: which means he's facing ten years in prison and a

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine. Simpson's family members

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: turned over his arsenal of weapons in the days after

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: Suzanne's disappearance. Among the guns was an unregistered short barrel rifle.

41
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: Simpson also owned several silencers.

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: Late Monday night, two weeks after Suzanne Simpson disappears, husband

43
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: Brad Simpson's longtime business partner, is arrested on felony charges.

44
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: James Cotter, sixty five, is charged with tampering with evidence

45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: and owning an unauthorized weapon. While police have not officially

46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: revealed if the arrest is tied to Suzanne's disappearance, a

47
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: law enforcement source claims Cotter allegedly helped Brad Simpson hide

48
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: a gun possibly tied to Suzanne's disappearance.
