The wife of a former producer on the long-running CBS series Survivor has been found dead in Mexico and local officials have detained the victim’s Emmy-nominated husband — Bruce Beresford-Redman — as the prime suspect.
Monica Beresford-Redman, 41, went missing Monday while on vacation in Cancun with her husband and the couple’s two children. Bruce didn’t tell police until Wednesday that his wife went shopping and never came back. It is a story that doesn’t ring true for investigators. Monica’s body was found early Thursday. She had been strangled and stuffed in a gutter at the swanky Moon Palace resort where they were on a family vacation.
According to The Los Angeles Times, Monica is the owner of Zabumba Bar & Restaurant in upscale Venice, California. In addition to Survivor, Bruce has also completed production work for Pimp My Ride and The Restaurant.
