A former Survivor producer has been detained as a suspect in his wife’s death in Mexico. CNN reports that Bruce Beresford-Redman was arrested after his wife was found dead in a hotel in Cancun, according to Mexican police spokesman Adrian Cardena.
Monica Beresford-Redman’s body was found in a sewer on the grounds of Cancun’s Moon Palace resort at 9 a.m. Thursday, Cardena said. Her husband, who was staying at the hotel, had reported her missing Tuesday, police said.
The initial investigation suggested she “died of strangulation because of the bruising,” Cardena said.
A family friend said that the wife had liquidated the couple’s bank account and traveled to Hawaii with her children last week after discovering her husband was having an affair. (The affair is unconfirmed.) The friend also said Bruce Beresford-Redman called his wife and persuaded her to meet him in Cancun to see if they could work things out, and she arrived in Cancun this week. But Monica disappeared after leaving their hotel room to shop.
Mexican police could not confirm any of these details to CNN.
Something doesn’t add up here…if the husband wanted to get back together with his wife, why would he kill her?
