Arrest Warrant Issued For ‘Survivor’ Producer

An arrest warrant has been issued for a former reality TV show producer whose wife was murdered in Mexico.

According to the attorney general in Mexico, murder charges were filed against Bruce Beresford-Redman on Monday.

Monica Beresford-Redman was found beaten and strangled on April 8 near a Cancun resort where she and her husband were vacationing. Mexican authorities had labeled Bruce as a person of interest since the start of the homicide investigation.

Authorities in Cancun told Bruce to remain in the country, but he left and returned to California after his attorney claimed that Bruce was under no legal restraint to stay in Mexico.

The couple’s two children are under the guardianship of Bruce’s parents.

ABC News learned that Bruce bought two life insurance policies for each member of his family just days before their trip.

One policy from HTH Worldwide Insurance would pay $50,000 in case of accidental death while traveling. The second policy from InsureMyTrip.com would pay a considerably higher amount of $500,000. This has further angered Monica’s friends and family.

Bruce’s attorney said that the children are the beneficiaries listed on those insurance policies and not Bruce.
