As the search for Suzanne Clark Simpson continues, officials are now searching for her in Boerne.
Multiple agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Search and Rescue, Sisterdale Fire and Rescue, Kendall County Fire Marshal, Boerne Fire and Boerne EMS, have been searching a wooded area near The Tower at Boerne Shopping Center.
Simpson, 51, was reported missing Monday afternoon. She was last seen at a birthday party at The Argyle on Sunday night. She was wearing a long, black dress and black heels. She was seen leaving, going to her Olmos Park home. A neighbor reported seeing a physical altercation between her and her husband later that night.
Police released this week a photo from surveillance video on Sunday that shows her wearing a dark-colored dress and tan high heels.
The ongoing search has moved from Olmos Park, where police on Wednesday searched the wooded area near Simpson’s home, to an area along I-10 and Business U.S. Highway 87 in Boerne, which is northwest of San Antonio.
Olmos Park Chief Fidel Villegas told reporters at a press conference at the time that police are working to file search warrants for other properties.
Her husband, Brad Simpson, 53, was arrested in Kendall County on Wednesday morning for charges relating to family violence. He was transported to the in the Bexar County Jail Thursday.
“The more time passes, the more we believe foul play was involved,” he told reporters on Wednesday.
When asked why Brad Simpson was arrested in Kendall County, Villegas said the family has property in the area.
Officials have not confirmed what they are looking for. Search dogs were on site as of Friday afternoon as crews searched the wooded area.
“There is a search going on in that area, but I do not have any additional information to release at this time,” said DPS spokesman Sgt. Deon Cockrell.
The search in Boerne started at 8 a.m. and ended just before 4 p.m. on Friday.
Officials from multiple agencies laid out maps detailing the nearby wooded area they were searching. Groups convened and disbursed several times before packing up and leaving.
Texas Ranger Kevin Wright said the search stopped because of the heat and that the search dogs were tired.
He would not say what prompted the search in Boerne. According to county property records, family members own properties in the area.
