Husband of missing San Antonio woman wants to see his children if released on bond

Brad Simpson – the San Antonio man whose wife mysteriously disappeared earlier this month – wants to have contact with the couple’s children if he’s granted pretrial release.

Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales said he would do his best not to let that happen.

“We intend on strenuously opposing this motion to modify bond conditions,” Gonzales told the Express-News.

Simpson’s attorney, Steven Gilmore, filed a motion on Thursday to modify pretrial conditions to allow his client to see his children if released on bond, according to the Express-News.

The pretrial conditions for Simpson currently prohibit contact with his children. However, Simpson’s attorney argues that the conditions should be amended to permit “no harmful or injurious contact,” the daily reports.

Simpson’s wife, Suzanne, was reported missing on Oct. 7 – the night after the couple got into a heated argument in front of their $1.4 million Olmos Park mansion, according to an arrest affidavit. Simpson was arrested two days later in Kendall County on charges of family violence and unlawful restraint. He is currently being held on bond totaling more than $3 million at the Bexar County jail.

This week, Simpson was charged with two additional felonies – tampering or fabricating with physical evidence and possession of a prohibited weapon. Those charges stem from Simpson allegedly asking his business partner, James Vallee Cotter, to take his AK-47 assault rifle and hide it in his home.

Authorities have searched for the missing woman in Olmos Park, off I-10 in Boerne and a landfill on San Antonio’s East Side but have so far failed to find her.

On Tuesday, the Texas Department of Public Safety discontinued an earlier alert stating that Suzanne Clark Simpson might be in imminent danger.
