Murder suspect Bruce Beresford Redman could soon head back across the border, after Mexican prosecutors formally asked the United States government on Tuesday to extradite him, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The body of Bruce's wife, Monica Beresford Redman, was found April 8 at the Moon Palace Hotel Resort. Investigators said she showed signs of asphyxiation and had suffered a blow to her head.
Evidence against Redman -- a former producer on the hit CBS TV show Survivor -- includes testimony by hotel workers and tourists that contradict what he told police.
