The search for Suzanne Simpson enters its second week, with teams searching the landfill

The search for missing Olmos Park woman Suzanne Simpson is in its eighth day. While some are losing hope, authorities are still doing everything they can to find them.

Retired FBI special agent and Project Absentis executive director Abel Pena said the first 48 hours of any investigation are crucial.

He adds that investigators will expand their search for it.

Monday’s operation took crews to a landfill in southeast Bexar County.

“The big thing is going to be digital evidence,” Pena said. “If they find their cell phone there, it would be a great find. They can probably put together a better schedule from there.”

It is still unclear what investigators were looking for.

“Everything just ties together to determine where they’re going to look again,” Pena explained. “If they get into a landfill, they might be looking for a piece of evidence, and from there they can hire a forensic team to look for things.”

The 51-year-old’s family is not sure whether they will find her alive.

At a vigil on Sunday, Suzanne’s mother said she had since heard from her. But as the search enters its second week, police are still searching.

According to police, a neighbor reported seeing Suzanne and her husband Brad arguing and physically arguing from his window.

Shortly thereafter, he reportedly heard two to three screams coming from a wooded area near the Simpsons’ home. This is the first area where police began searching.

With no further updates on this case, Pena reminds Suzanne’s loved ones not to throw in the towel and find answers just yet.

“Law enforcement is conducting a comprehensive investigation to find Ms. Simpson and not lose hope,” he said. “Stay tuned and don’t lose hope.”
