CANCUN, MEXICO (BNO NEWS) – Monica Beresford-Redman, wife of “Survivor” TV series producer, was found deceased Thursday morning, local authorities said.

Beresford-Redman, 42, originally from Brazil, was reported missing on Monday at around 10 a.m. local time, but she was found dead Thursday morning in the tanker of the Hotel Moon Palace where she was staying with her husband, Bruce Beresford-Redman and their two children.

Bruce Beresford-Redman is currently the principal suspect of his wife’s death and is currently under investigation because witnesses’ statements do not concur with her reported missing date.

Hotel employees stated to have witnessed the couple arguing Monday night, and that Bruce Beresford-Redman threatened to hit his wife. In addition, he presents scratches on his body, Bello Melchor Rodriguez y Carrillo, local state prosecutor said.

According to CBS, Bruce spoke to CBS affiliate KCAL on Wednesday and stated “I’m very hopeful someone will find my wife very soon. She still hasn’t been located and we’re looking.”

They were planning to return to their home in California Thursday, which would have been Monica’s birthday.

Bruce Beresford-Redman’s passport was withheld to facilitate ongoing investigations as he is suspected of choking his wife. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of her death.
