Suzanne Simpson's home may be sold as missing realtor's husband remains behind bars in murder case
Missing Texas realtor Suzanne Simpson’s home reportedly may be sold, a relative has revealed, as her husband remains behind bars on a murder charge after her disappearance.
The 51-year-old mother of four went missing on Oct. 6 after allegedly fighting with her husband of 22 years in front of their house in Olmos Park, in the San Antonio area, according to the arrest affidavit for Brad Simpson.
A junk hauler was seen out front of the Simpson home on Friday, with some items being taken out of the house, News 4 San Antonio reported.
Brad Simpson’s brother, Barton Simpson, told the outlet that the home may go up for sale “possibly next year.”

Suzanne and Brad Simpson lived in the Olmos Park home with two of their children, ages 5 and 15.
Since the start of the investigation, reports about an “abusive” marriage have surfaced, painting a detailed picture of what took place behind the walls of their home in the months leading up to Suzanne’s disappearance.

On the night of Oct. 6, a neighbor “directly across the street” witnessed Brad and Suzanne arguing loudly and “physically struggling” in his front yard. The neighbor observed that “Ms. Simpson was attempting to get away from Mr. Simpson’s grasp as he tried to pull her downwards” and that Brad chased after his wife and was trying to grab her, according to documents.
The neighbor later heard screams coming from the wooded area across from his home.

The Simpsons’ 5-year-old child told a school counselor that on the evening of Oct. 6, Brad Simpson, 53, allegedly “pushed her mother against the wall, hit (physically) her mother on the face and hurt her mother’s elbow inside their residence” and also “turned off her mother’s phone because they were fighting.”
A couple of months prior to that, Suzanne Simpson told her personal banker that she was being physically abused by her husband, that he would commonly take her cellphone away and “that if she went missing to look for her in a lake,” documents show.
Suzanne also told the banker that her husband would tell her children that she had lost her cellphone after he had taken it from her.

Just weeks before Suzanne’s disappearance, Brad sent a text message to a female, writing, “I still feel bad about tonight. I never should’ve grabbed her phone and drove off but she was so protective of it. My dumb ass didn’t know her passcode so I got locked out and had to bring it back. I really have no interest in looking through her phone or anybody else’s. these devices are the Devil.”
This female later told authorities that Suzanne was aware that her husband would “track” her and that he was “extremely jealous.”

The Simpsons’ 20-year-old daughter has publicly expressed her own thoughts on the case. “My mom was a victim of abuse from my father,” Chandler Simpson wrote on Instagram. “My father took my mother’s life in a state of rage and control.”
“In our community, this should not be happening and I will not stop speaking as the voice of my mother until she is found,” she continued in her post. “I will forever represent all victims of domestic abuse and assault.”

On Nov. 7, authorities charged Brad with the murder of his wife.
“It is heartbreaking, but it brings our family some peace to know that authorities have gathered sufficient evidence to feel confident in moving forward with charges,” Barton Simpson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“This also helps us come to terms with the reality that Suzanne is no longer with us, allowing us to begin the difficult grieving process and focus on rebuilding our lives, especially for the sake of the children and our extended family.”
Brad was originally arrested on misdemeanor charges of assault causing bodily injury, family violence and unlawful restraint for the Oct. 6 incident. Those charges have since been dropped, reportedly, as the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office pursues the higher first-degree felony charge, My San Antonio reported.

Brad Simpson’s attorney, Steven Gilmore, is calling for an examining trial, which is a trial before a judge where evidence is presented to determine if there’s enough to move forward in the prosecution process, the outlet reported.
“To this date, the matter has not been reviewed by The Grand Jury,” the motion for examining trial reads, according to the outlet. “Therefore, pursuant to Article 16.01, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, [Brad Simpson] is entitled to an examining trial to determine whether or not there exists sufficient evidence to justify presentation of the matter to the Grand Jury.”
Brad Simpson remains in Bexar County jail, and his bond hearing has been delayed to Dec. 19. His attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.

Man found guilty of sex trafficking victim along L.A.’s Figueroa Corridor
A former Riverside County man was found guilty of sex trafficking a female victim and forcing her to engage in commercial sex acts along L.A.’s notorious Figueroa Corridor.
Elias Abdul Shabazz, 34, formerly of Perris, was found guilty by a jury following a five-day trial, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Prosecutors said Shabazz had led the victim to believe they were in a romantic relationship before he turned physically and sexually violent. He began demanding that the victim engage in commercial sex acts from May to October of 2021, court documents said.
He carried a handgun with him and, on occasion, was accused of using it to pistol-whip the victim. He also fired the gun at her feet while threatening to kill her, prosecutors said.
At trial, the victim said Shabazz demanded that she meet a daily quota of commercial sex proceeds and that she was terrified of the consequences of not meeting that quota.
She testified that Shabazz compelled her to work in the notorious Figueroa Corridor in South L.A., a dangerous area known for human trafficking and prostitution.
Shabazz had confiscated her identification card, Social Security card and birth certificate. He constantly monitored her cell phone to stop her from communicating with any friends or family.
“He also introduced her to addictive narcotics and controlled every aspect of her life, including when she ate, slept and showered,” prosecutors said.
In May 2025, Shabazz was arrested and has remained in federal custody. His last known address at the time was in Washington, D.C.
On June 26, 2026, Shabazz was found guilty of one count of coercing or enticing interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 6, where he faces 15 years to life in prison.
“Sex trafficking matters rank among the most tragic cases our office prosecutes,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. “This defendant will now face many years in a federal prison cell for his sick, disgusting, and disturbing behavior.”
“Elias Shabazz preyed on a vulnerable victim using physical and sexual violence and cruel psychological coercion to compel commercial sex acts for his own profit,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “There is no place for this type of conduct in civilized society. We deeply respect the victim’s courage to face her trafficker in court. The Criminal Division will continue to bring these cases and try them.”
