They identified some text messages between Brad Simpson and Val Cotter saying things like, make sure and leave all of that stuff in the pump house, especially the gun.

So that was the red flag for investigators talking about potentially hiding a gun.

When they were able to finally find that weapon, they did confirm that it was Brad's gun.

Prosecutors allege that all the evidence we just talked about proves that Brad murdered Suzanne and then disposed of the body.

How is the defense planning to defend him?

The defense did a really, really long filing.

And they talk about how the Olmos Park police chief, which is the agency that was originally handling this investigation...

At one point in time, let the mayor of the city review all of the evidence.

So they're saying this is something that was supposed to be secure.

We need to do an audit of this evidence because what if it has been tampered with?

What if it's been changed?

And they also said in this filing that some of the key investigators involved in this case.

So the strategy that we kind of see emerging right now is, is this evidence still pristine and are the people presenting it going to be able to do so correctly?

Jordan, you mentioned Brad was in court.

It was Tuesday.

He was in court for a pretrial hearing.

Did he say anything?

Did he do anything?

Especially in Bexar County, there's always a very stark contrast between the people who are in jail awaiting murder trial and other trials.

The people who are waiting for murder trials are always dressed in red.
