Police in Texas have charged a husband with a felony for illegal firearm possession while continuing the search for his wife, a San Antonio real estate agent missing for over a week.
After Brad Simpson’s arrest, a family member gave his firearms to law enforcement.
According to the affidavit obtained by CrimeOnline, investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms found an unregistered short-barreled rifle in the couple’s Olmos Park home.
On October 10, a family member told investigators that Suzanne’s husband, Brad Simpson, owned several firearms stored in a locked room at his home and offered to surrender them. The ATF had obtained a search warrant for the Simpson home the day prior.
The family member retrieved multiple firearms from the locked room and handed them over to officers from the Olmos Park Police Department and ATF agents. Among the surrendered weapons included a Grand Power Stribog SP9 A3, a 9×19 mm caliber rifle, fitted with silencers registered to Brad Simpson.
Police also found numerous silencers that were registered in the suspect’s name through the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
Meanwhile, neighbors told police that they heard loud screaming and arguing coming from the Simpson home shortly before her disappearance.
Suzanne Simpson is described as a white female who stands 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs around 144 pounds. She has brown hair, brown eyes and was last seen wearing a black dress.
It’s unclear if she was driving when she disappeared.
