Bruce Beresford-Redman, a former producer on reality series Survivor, has been released from a Mexican prison after spending years behind bars in connection with the death of his wife.
The TV producer was convicted in the killing of his wife Mónica Burgos during a family vacation with their two children in 2010. Her naked and beaten body was found in a septic tank at a Cancun resort, on what would have been her 42nd birthday.
Investigators said at the time that Burgos died following a violent confrontation with her husband, and the case made international headlines.
Beresford-Redman, now 48, maintained his innocence throughout the investigation. In a 48 Hours television special, he insisted he’d done nothing wrong.
“I’ve been accused of a horrible, abhorrent crime and I’m innocent,” he stated. “I did not kill Mónica.”
He returned home to Southern California, but was arrested in November 2010 and extradited to Mexico.
