MEXICO CITY, Mexico — A former Survivor producer has been detained in Mexico as a suspect in his wife's death, days after reporting her missing in the resort city of Cancun.
According to the KCAL-TV, Bruce Beresford-Redman is being held by authorities after his wife's body was found Thursday in a sewer at the plush Moon Palace resort where the couple was on vacation.
"I'm very hopeful someone will find my wife very soon," he told the Los Angeles station the day before police found the body of Monica Beresford-Redman. "She still hasn't been located and we're looking."
A security guard at the hotel witnessed the couple arguing Monday night and said the 38-year-old producer tried to hit her.
Beresford-Redman reportedly told police on Tuesday that his wife had left the hotel to go shopping the previous day and never returned.
In addition to Survivor, Beresford-Redman's credits include Pimp My Ride, the popular MTV car makeover show.
