Hey everybody. I'm Ashley Banfield, and this is Drop Dead serious.

Suzanne Simpson wasn't just another missing mom. She was the mom that everybody wanted to be.

She was beautiful and stylish and successful, a San Antonio real estate agent who made

juggling motherhood and million dollar listings look effortless. Her life looked perfect

until the night it shattered on October 6th, 2024. That's one year ago this week. I'm

recording this on October 8th, 2025. But a year ago,

Suzanne's husband, Brad Simpson, said that Suzanne just disappeared with no note, no goodbye,

no trace. Her phone went silent. Her luxury SUV was parked neatly at the home.

And that same husband told police that she'd just gone for a walk.

But investigators say what really happened at that house was anything but peaceful.

Days after Suzanne disappeared, detectives found blood evidence and eventually DNA, Suzanne's DNA, on a power saw linked to her husband Brad.

Prosecutors say he killed his wife, dismembered her body, and then tried to cover his tracks.

But here's an even more chilling part.

Suzanne still hasn't been found.

Brad Simpson was arrested and charged with murder in connection with her presumed death,

along with weapons offenses and tampering with evidence. And that husband, Brad, is still sitting in a jail cell, awaiting trial, insisting that he's

innocent.

He couldn't raise the $3 million in bail money.

But you can imagine that this has been hell for Suzanne's family.

A year later, her body still hasn't been found.

And Brad is not coughing up any details in jail before his trial this February.

And that leads me to another shocking turn of events in this very sad story.
