Suzanne Simpson's daughter says father 'took my mother's life in state of rage'
In a recent social media post, the daughter of Suzanne Simpson speaks out about her mother being a victim of abuse.
"My mom was a victim of abuse from my father, my father took my mother's life in a state of rage and control. In our community, this should not be happening and I will not stop speaking as the voice of my mother until she is found. I will forever represent all victims of domestic abuse and assault. As my mother's daughter, I will tell our story over and over again, with every breath, I will make sure you remember her name. Suzanne Simpson was a victim of abuse and a victim of this community. Beyond being a victim she was a phenomenal mother, hardworking, driven, loving, and kind."
According to the police report, a neighbor, who lived across the street from the Simpson's home off East Olmos Drive, told police he saw Brad and Suzanne arguing outside his window.

Suzanne's daughter expresses frustration with the community's lack of response to abuse and encourages other women to speak out.
"Shame on my community for not speaking about domestic violence, within Alamo Heights women are marginalized by society and misogyny every day and are told to keep their mouths shut. our voice will be heard, my mom fought for her life, fought for her family, and herself. Our community needs to come forward with strength and bring awareness and change to uplift women who brought us life."
"Those who choose to remain silent are choosing to blind themselves from domestic violence in our homes. My mother tried to leave my father and lost her life. If you stand with my mother and our family please be present at my dad's hearing on Nov 13 in SATX, stand with us in silence for my mother, justice will be served and my mom will be brought home. Shame on Alamo Heights for not educating the youth and community on domestic violence and sexual assault as women across the world suffer in silence as victims. Any women of the AHHS community that has experienced any kind of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse this is your time to speak. Be strong like my mother and speak up."
