For reasons undisclosed, her parents presented the 31-year-old with an eviction order, but given Simpson’s future actions she didn’t take kindly to their mandate. Simpson’s attorney, David Aylor, issued a statement to PEOPLE, noting that his client was unemployed and had an unspecified disability.

“The only thing that I can confirm is that Brittany was currently on disability and was not working,” he said. “Though she wasn’t currently working, she was still a pretty active person in regards to recreational activities and things like that, her disability wasn’t hampering her from that.” Simpson initially pinned the murder on an intruder, but following an investigation, authorities found her sodden clothes and a handgun in a nearby creek, The Post and Courier reports.
