Brad Simpson is currently behind bars for this incident, charged with assault and unlawful restraint.

“This is all a strategy for a homicide investigation or what they think is a homicide investigation. So they’re using it to keep him in jail for 30 days,” said Robert Boyce, former Chief of NYPD detectives.

Police say Brad Simpson has been uncooperative.

Investigators expanded their search for Suzanne Simpson to a landfill last week, but reported no trace of her.

Cotter faces felony charges, including “tampering with evidence.”

As for Simpson, his lawyer calls the charges against him “ridiculous.”
