Ex ‘Survivor’ producer expected to ask judge for custody of 2 children after wife slain

Producer seeks custody of children when wife slain

LOS ANGELES — A custody hearing is set to determine guardianship of the two children of a producer of the TV show “Survivor” and his wife, who was found slain in Mexico.

An attorney for the parents of Bruce Beresford-Redman is expected to ask a Los Angeles judge Friday to terminate their temporary guardianship.

David and Juanita Beresford-Redman filed an ex-parte motion Thursday in which their son asked to resume parental responsibility.

Carla Burgos, the sister of Monica Beresford-Redman, also is seeking guardianship of the children.

The body of Monica Beresford-Redman was found April 8 in Cancun. Her husband has been considered a suspect by Mexican investigators. He has denied any involvement.
