Mexico asked the United States to extradite Bruce Beresford-Redman, who is suspected in the murder of his wife three months earlier at a Cancun resort. Beresford-Redman left Mexico in May even though authorities had taken away his passport and told him not to leave the country. He is the chief suspect in his wife's murder. Monica Burgo, a Brazilian, was found dead in a water treatment tank at a luxury resort in Cancun on April 8 after Beresford had reported her missing.
