Olmos Park Police Chief Fidel Villegas said at a news conference it was "suspicious" the mother has not shown up at work and she's not "checking in on her children."
Police arrested her husband, 53-year-old Brad Chandler Simpson, on Thursday on two misdemeanor charges, according to magistrate records from Bexar County. Those charges are assault causing bodily injury to a family member and unlawful restraint.
Their neighbor told police he saw the couple arguing outside his window, CBS Austin affiliate WOA-TV reported. The neighbor told the station he went outside with his flashlight when he heard screaming and saw Brad Simpson drive off in his pick-up truck.
Police asked residents who might have seen a 2019 black GMC Sierra pickup truck around the time of Suzanne Simpson's disappearance to contact the Olmos Park Police Department as they search for new leads in the investigation, reported CBS affiliate KENS.
