Former 'Survivor' Producer Leaves Mexico, Returns to the U.S. despite Advice to the Contrary

The former 'Survivor' producer whose wife was found slain in Mexico more than a month ago has returned to the United States, CNN News is reporting. Bruce Beresford-Redman remains a 'person of interest' in case, which might be why Mexican authorities had asked him not to leave the country while they continued their investigation. The Los Angeles Times reported that yesterday the prosecutor handling the case said that he has been unable to locate the husband in the past week to "sign some paperwork and answer a few additional questions."

Beresford-Redman's attorney offered a statement to CNN:

"Bruce Beresford-Redman has returned to Los Angeles County to be with his children and to attend to family and personal matters," Richard Hirsch said.

The sisters of the victim issued a statement Saturday upon learning of the news that Beresford-Redman could not be located in Mexico:

"When the Burgos Family learned today that Bruce Beresford-Redman cannot be located, our greatest fears about the investigation being conducted by the Mexican authorities were realized," they said.

According to various sources, the Beresford-Redmans had originally gone to Cancun to work on their marriage. Witnesses reported seeing them arguing the night before Monica was found.
