“This is the type of case that hits everyone’s heartstrings, and everyone wants to get involved, and everyone wants to try and help,” said Lori Whittmeyer.
SAN ANTONIO — After authorities came up empty handed searching a landfill for anything connected to Suzanne Simpson, they are now determining their next steps.
Now, a local nonprofit is trying to do what they can to help.
Suzanne Simpson has been missing for nearly two weeks now and after searches by law enforcement, a nonprofit is stepping in to help
On Friday morning, Search & Support San Antonio started their search for clues where law enforcement began theirs 11 days ago.
They searched a wooded area near Suzanne Simpson’s home.
“We are just going to provide additional support in terms of an unannounced search, where we can perhaps be of some assistance, to help find Suzanne,” said Lori Wittmeyer, Case Intake Manager, Search & Support San Antonio.
Simpson has been missing since Oct. 6, after police say a neighbor saw her arguing with her husband, Brad Simpson, in front of their Olmos Park Home.
Brad Simpson was arrested three days later in Kendall County on related charges and authorities have said he has been uncooperative in the investigation.
Searches in a wooded area near the home, a property in Boerne, and a landfill have come up empty handed.
Search & Support waited to begin their search so they didn’t interfere with law enforcement.
“We are here to try and find answers, because there’s a family out there that’s that’s hurting,” said Wittmeyer.
The nonprofit is providing a second set of eyes, hoping to find a clue that will help law enforcement.
We did reach out to authorities for an update, but they said there is nothing new to report and there is no information regarding any additional search areas.
Search & Support says they will continue to search, where it makes sense.
“So if we find areas that make sense to search, we we’ll be there, and of course, we are respectful of law enforcement,” said Wittmeyer.
The nonprofit says no tip is too small. If you know anything about the case, your urged to contact the Olmos Park Police Department or Search & Support San Antonio.
