Topics
Nancy Grace: 我认为Brad Simpson被认为是杀害妻子的凶手，并且他采取了一系列可疑行动来掩盖罪行。我对他将手机调至锁定模式，购买清洁用品和防水布，以及在凌晨处理垃圾等行为感到非常怀疑。我认为这些行为表明他试图掩盖犯罪。 Zachary Taylor Wright: 我作为记者，只能根据警方提供的证据和指控进行报道。Brad Simpson被指控谋杀Suzanne Simpson，并且试图隐藏证据，包括一把锯子和妻子的尸体。警方通过监控录像和其他手段追踪了他的行踪，发现他在妻子失踪后的一系列可疑行为。 Jeff Horny: 我作为Suzanne和Brad的朋友，对Suzanne的遭遇感到非常悲痛。我认为Brad Simpson的行为非常可疑，他在法庭上看起来像个暴徒。我无法理解他为什么会做出这样的事情。 Ben Powers: 我作为辩护律师，认为目前还没有足够的证据来证明Brad Simpson有罪。虽然有一些环境证据，例如锯子上的DNA，但这些证据并不足以定罪。我认为州政府需要提供更多的证据，例如尸体或明确的作案动机，才能说服陪审团。 Brian Fitzgibbon: 我作为安全专家，认为Brad Simpson的行为模式非常可疑。他试图隐藏手机、枪支和锯子，这表明他试图掩盖某些事情。我认为警方需要继续调查，找到更多的证据来支持他们的指控。 Dr. Kendall Crowns: 我作为法医，可以解释往复锯的用途以及如何进行DNA检测。如果发现Suzanne的任何部分，我们需要进行DNA检测以确认身份。如果发现大块的身体部位，那就说明她被谋杀了，被肢解了。 Caryn Stark: 我作为心理学家，认为这起案件对孩子们的影响非常大。无论结果如何，这些孩子都失去了母亲。他们需要大量的帮助来应对这种创伤。

Shownotes Transcript

Brad Simpson, husband of missing Suzanne Simpson, and his attorney  fight to squash his indictment. As state attorneys continuing  gathering evidence from the Texas Rangers, the attorney say prosecutor has enough evidence to proceed with a motion to quash the indictment.

The arrest affidavit for Brad Simpson, accused of murdering his wife, provides a detailed timeline of his activities the day before he reported her missing. The husband and father spent the day running suspicious errands, some of them in front of his 5-year-old daughter.

The day after neighbors overheard the Simpsons fighting, Brad Simpson’s truck filled and emptied as he drove around San Antonio. First, Simpson placed his phone in “lockdown mode,” preventing location tracking. Forced to rely on surveillance footage, police spotted Simpson’s truck at a grocery store at 12:33 a.m.

The truck bed was empty except for an ice chest. The next morning, when Simpson took his daughter to school, two full white trash bags had been added to the bed. Later, when Simpson was seen at a Boerne Whataburger drive-thru more than an hour later, police observed a heavy-duty trash can and a firewood rack weighing down an object covered by a blue tarp.

Law enforcement uncovered damning evidence that led a grand jury to indict Simpson not only for tampering with evidence but also for murder. Lab testing revealed Suzanne Simpson’s DNA on a reciprocating saw from Simpson’s toolbox.

In his first court appearance, Brad Simpson wore red prisoner attire with his hands cuffed in front of him. He swayed back and forth in his swivel chair, speaking only to confirm his identity and converse with his attorney.

Although the hearing was brief, Simpson was observed with what has been described as a sly grin.
