On April 12, 2010, People.com issued a report stating that Bruce Beresford-Redman would be "imminently" arrested by the local police officers in Mexico.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20360198,00.html Last week, it was widely reported that Monica Beresford-Redman—Bruce's wife—had gone missing in Cancun.

Not long after Monica had been thought missing, her body was found April 8, 2010, in a Cancun-area sewer drain that was being used by the tourist resort, Moon Palacehttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/09/earlyshow/leisure/celebspot/main6378904.shtml Soon after this discovery, Bruce was considered by authorities to be one of the prime suspects in the murder of his wife.

Bruce previously worked on the CBS show, Survivor. Additionally, he is known as co-creator of Pimp My Ride, the MTV-produced reality show hosted by rapper Xzibit. When authorities ultimately discovered the body of Monica Beresford-Redman in the hotel sewer they realized that she suffered from a blow to the head.

Bruce Beresford-Redman

Formerly, Bruce Beresford-Redman worked for the CBS show Survivor and also was co-creator of MTV's Pimp My Ride. Pimp My Ride was hosted by rapper Xzibit. As a producer, Bruce has been nominated previously for three Emmy awards.

Bruce started working on Survivor back in 2000. The show, currently airing its 20th season, essentially involves sending over 15 people who have never met each other to live as a "tribe" on a remote island. Each season the location that the contestants live differs, however the goal of the contestants remains the same: To become the "Sole Survivor" and winner of the grand price of $1,000,000. Throughout the season there are a number of challenges in which the players face off against the other team and eventually against each other, one on one. When there are only a couple of players remaining, the winner is determined by a jury of seasons previous cast members. The jury consists of players who have already been voted off and who are no longer in the running for the grand prize themselves.

Monica Beresford-Redman

Monica previously owned and operated a restaurant in Los Angeles, CA.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20359785,00.html When her body was initially discovered, officials thought she had been strangled to death.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20359249,00.html However, later analysis and the official report issued by the coroner indicate that these suspicions were incorrect. It appears that a fatal blow was delivered to her head, resulting in damage to her skull.

Their Children

The couple had two children together, Alex and Camilla. The children are currently reported to be in Los Angeles, California, under the temporary custody of Bruce's parents. Monica's parents are currently in the process of fighting for permanent custody of the children.
