Missing Texas mom, luxury real estate agent seen in last photo before disappearance as family fears worst
The last photo taken of missing Texas mom of four Suzanne Simpson has emerged from the night she was last seen as federal authorities reportedly pursue sealed charges against her husband.
Brad Simpson, 53, was arrested Wednesday in Kendall County on a family violence charge in relation to his wife’s disappearance, Olmos Park Police said. The couple allegedly fought before she disappeared on Oct. 6, police say.
Suzanne’s mother, Barbara Clark, told News 4 San Antonio on Sunday that she does not believe her daughter is alive.
The Texas Department of Public Safety has released a photo of Suzanne from the night of Oct. 6, when she was wearing a black dress outside The Argyle club in Alamo Heights, near San Antonio.

“We want people to have seen that photo and think, and say you know what, I think we saw her…and maybe she’s in that same clothing, we don’t know, maybe she was in distress, we don’t know that, but we want the public to have seen her,” Olmos Park Police Chief Fidel Villegas said in a news conference Thursday.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has filed sealed charges against Brad Simpson because some officials feared he might post bond and be released from the Bexar County jail, the San Antonio Express News reported. Further details on the indictment were not released.
According to jail records, Brad Simpson was sent to the Kendall County Jail on a $1 million bond on both charges for a total bond of $2 million. He was transferred to the Bexar County jail on Thursday.
If Simpson posts bond on the county charges, it is possible he could be transferred into the custody of the U.S. Marshals, KSAT reported, according to a Bexar County Central Records official. He is set for a bond hearing Tuesday at the jail’s auxiliary court, the outlet reported.

Police continue to search for Suzanne, a 51-year-old real estate agent. Authorities previously announced that they found two evidence articles of interest in the woods, and they recently found “possible evidence” inside the Simpson home, Villegas said Thursday.
Brad Simpson has been charged with assault causing bodily injury, family violence and unlawful restraint for the Sunday night incident.
Police have tried to interview Brad, but he has been “uncooperative,” Villegas said.
Suzanne’s brother-in-law said in a Facebook post Sunday that the family is grateful for law enforcement efforts and “we will not stop until we find her.”

Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6, there was a “disturbance” between the Simpsons at The Argyle, Villegas said at a previous press conference broadcast by WOAI News 4. The couple had been at a birthday party there, according to San Antonio Reports.
Police said the fight between the two got physical. Police were notified of this 24 hours later, when Brad reported his wife of 22 years missing.
A neighbor told police he saw Brad and Suzanne arguing outside his window, and the two then began physically fighting with each other, the outlet reported, based on a police report. The neighbor said he saw Brad “grabbing her upper torso area to gain control of her body,” and when the neighbor went outside, he heard screaming coming from a nearby wooded area.
“That night we think she was in distress…it’s very suspicious though that obviously she’s not going to work, and she’s not checking in on her children,” Villegas added Thursday.

Suzanne was last seen on Sunday, Oct. 6, at 11 p.m. in the 500 block of East Olmos in Olmos Park. She is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, and weighs about 140 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes.
The neighbor also told police he saw Brad drive off in his pickup truck about an hour later and return about one or two hours after that.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is asking for the public’s assistance, asking anyone who saw Brad’s black 2019 GMC AT4 pickup truck, with a Texas license plate MWD7050, between the morning of Oct. 7 to 11 p.m. on Oct. 8, to please contact the Olmos Park Police Department.

Savannah Guthrie spotted in NYC as search for missing mother enters sixth week with few answers
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
TUCSON, Ariz. — “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie is back in New York City as the search for her missing mother enters its sixth week with little publicly known progress in her hometown of Tucson, Arizona.
Guthrie was photographed in public for the first time since her mother’s suspected abduction, alongside husband Mike Feldman and their young son in the Big Apple Sunday, days after an emotional reunion with her NBC colleagues and more than a month after her 84-year-old mother Nancy was last seen.
Nancy’s disappearance shocked the country — especially when the FBI released disturbing surveillance video of a masked man on her doorstep.
Savannah Guthrie spent weeks in Tucson with her siblings as the investigation played out — before she and her older sister, Annie, added bouquets of yellow flowers to a growing display at the foot of their mother’s driveway. She quietly flew home to New York last week.

Sunday marked five weeks since the suspected kidnapping.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is leading the investigation, which is now being overseen by a task force consisting of local detectives and FBI agents.

No suspects have been publicly identified.

He appeared to be armed with a handgun as well. Law enforcement sources said he visited Nancy Guthrie’s home at least once in advance of her disappearance, wearing a similar disguise.
Other identifying details are scarce.

The use of cadaver dogs is also on hold, according to authorities, who re-canvassed Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood as recently as last week.
When asked if that meant they believed she is still alive, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos declined to discuss evidence in the case.

FBI subpoenas 2020 Arizona voting docs as federal push into election administration widens
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An Arizona state lawmaker revealed Monday that federal authorities subpoenaed him for records related to the 2020 election, marking the second publicly confirmed jurisdiction the Department of Justice is investigating over the matter.
Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, a Republican, said in a social media post he received the subpoena for material related to the state Senate’s 2020 audit last week and complied with it.
“Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County,” Petersen wrote. “The FBI has the records. Any other report is fake news.”
The request represents an expansion of a federal probe tied to 2020 after the DOJ initially targeted Fulton County, Georgia. The development also comes as President Donald Trump has grown increasingly outspoken about election security in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms, renewing his attention on disputes stemming from the last presidential race.

Petersen made the revelation after President Donald Trump shared a Just the News report about the subpoena on Truth Social, writing, “Great!!! FBI secretly seizes election records from Arizona’s largest county as voting probe expands.”
Multiple U.S. officials confirmed the election probe to Fox News, saying the DOJ is looking at a large tranche of Arizona data from 2020 and 2024.

The White House directed Fox News Digital to the FBI on Monday when asked for comment. The FBI declined to comment.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, an elected Democrat, said the new investigation was based on claims that courts and state investigators have proven wrong.
“What the Trump administration appears to be pursuing now is not a legitimate law enforcement inquiry,” Mayes said in a statement. “It is the weaponization of federal law enforcement in service of crackpots and lies.”

The subpoena comes as the president increasingly focuses on election security ahead of the 2026 midterms, telling Congress in a social media post on Sunday that he will not sign any legislation into law until it passes the SAVE America Act.
The bill’s primary purpose is to require voters nationwide to show physical identification to prove citizenship to vote in federal elections. The version of the bill Trump is pushing would also ban mail-in ballots except for the military and in other extenuating circumstances.
Maricopa, Arizona’s most populous county, was a hotbed for accusations of voter fraud in 2020. Fulton County, Georgia, faced similar accusations, with the DOJ launching a separate investigation into the 2020 election earlier this year.
Trump lost Arizona in 2020 by about 0.3 percentage points. The president refused to concede, and his legal team brought a series of lawsuits alleging vote-counting irregularities, but none were successful.

Wisconsin man who fled Border Patrol checkpoint in stolen car killed after shootout in Texas, police say
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: A Wisconsin man driving a stolen vehicle was killed Wednesday after he fled through a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint and led authorities on a vehicle chase and shootout in Texas.
The incident happened at around 10:30 a.m. at the Sierra Blanca checkpoint in the Big Bend Sector between El Paso and Van Horn, a remote area.
James Douglas McMillan, 33, of Greenfield, Wis., took off from the checkpoint after a Border Patrol drug K-9 alerted to the vehicle and agents directed McMillan to pull over for a secondary search, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.

During the car chase, McMillan opened fire out of his vehicle window at DPS troopers and other authorities from several law enforcement agencies and civilian vehicles, DPS said.
“As law enforcement returned fire, DPS Troopers performed a precision immobilization technique (PIT) maneuver and successfully stopped the suspect vehicle,” a DPS statement said.
McMillan barricaded himself in his vehicle and eventually pointed his weapon towards officers, prompting officers to open fire, authorities said.
He was shot and killed. No law enforcement officers or civilians were hurt.
Investigators determined McMillan was driving a vehicle reported stolen in Arizona. The shooting is being investigated by the Texas Rangers, with assistance from the FBI and USBP.

In January, a man suspected of smuggling illegal immigrants was shot by federal officers during a gunfire exchange in Arizona.
Patrick Gary Schlegel, 34, fled from authorities on foot and allegedly shot at a CBP helicopter and at agents, Heith Janke, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Phoenix Division, said at the time.
