Murder Suspect, Husband Remain Hospitalized

The Dacusville woman charged with killing her children and attempting to kill her husband Tuesday remains hospitalized.

Suzanna Brown Simpson is charged with murdering her daughter Carly Simpson, 7, and her son Sawyer Simpson, 5 and attempting to kill her husband Michael Simpson.

Sheriff Rick Clark announced the charges Tuesday afternoon.

The children's bodies were found in the family home at 307 Cherokee Trail in Dacusville Tuesday morning, after deputies responded to a wreck nearby. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Pickens County Sheriff's Office issued an update on the investigation, which remains active, yesterday afternoon.

Autopsies were performed on the children's bodies and results confirmed they died of multiple gunshot wounds, Chief Deputy Creed Hashe said.

Suzanna Brown Simpson remains hospitalized and under guard, Hashe said.

Michael Simpson is still in the hospital, suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds, he said.

The motive behind the killings has not been discovered yet, Clark said.

When Suzanna Simpson is released from the hospital, she will be transported to the Pickens County Detention Center, Hashe said.
