Brad Chandler Simpson was charged with murder on Thursday, a month after his wife Suzanne Simpson went missing in San Antonio, Texas.
Court records show that Simpson appeared before a judge on Thursday, who set his bond at $2 million, according to CBS affiliate KENS. A judge sealed his order until December 7.
The 51-year-old mother disappeared on the night of October 6 near Trinity University and has not been seen since. A neighbor saw the couple arguing outside his window. She was last seen wearing a black dress and heels.
Authorities initially arrested Simpson, 53, on Oct. 10 on two counts of causing bodily harm to a family member and unlawful restraint. He remains in custody at the Bexar County Jail, online records show, as authorities searched for her body.
the police said By mid-October they were “confident there is a good chance” they would find the realtor and the San Antonio resident’s body in a landfill, but no remains turned up.
Relatives have made their grief and indignation public. The suspect’s brother posted on social media that “the devastation this has caused to our family is overwhelming.”
He added that the impact on their parents has been enormous and “our lives have been irreparably changed.”
The couple’s 20-year-old daughter Chandler, a fashion student, claimed on her Instagram Reel that her mother was a victim of abuse, claiming that “my father, in a state of rage and control, took my mother’s life.”
Chandler also claimed in her post that “my mother tried to leave my father and lost her life.” She said her mother’s light was “a guiding force in the lives of all she touched, and her love will continue to inspire us even in her absence.”
Her post included photos of her and her siblings with their mother when they were younger, and a tree turning fall colors, writing, “I see you everywhere, Mom.”
