Brad Simpson, a Texas man accused of killing his wife, appeared at a brief hearing last week in Bear County, where the judge allowed both sides additional time for evidence.
Police arrested Simpson, 54, in connection with the2024 disappearance of Suzanne Suzanne, 51. She was last seen at their Olmos Park home on October 6.
He now faces indictment on charges of first-degree felony murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury, both of which could result in a maximum sentence of life in prison.
On Wednesday, his attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the indictment, but the court denied it. During the brief hearing, both the prosecution and defense acknowledged that the discovery remains incomplete and requested more time to gather evidence.
The judge suggested a 90-day period to reschedule the discovery hearing, but both parties agreed they could reconvene sooner, according to FOX News Digital.
The prosecution will sift through one terabyte of data while awaiting the completion of outstanding forensic testing. They anticipate receiving about six terabytes of evidence from the Texas Rangers.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, the prosecution and police allege that Simpson killed Suzanne on October 6 and then concealed her body the next day. Although she remains missing, a detailed warrant outlined alleged suspicious behavior the morning after, following a heated argument.
Investigators found that Brad Simpson turned his phone on and off while driving from San Antonio to the Texas Hill Country the next day, with items in his truck. He bought concrete, visited a dump site, and spent 13 minutes in Bandera, where officials believe he unloaded a large object from his pickup, according to court records.
The next hearing is set for March 12, according to the 437th District Court.
Simpson remains in the Bexar County Jail with a combined bond set at $3 million.
