This has been a long time coming!

Monica Beresford-Redman was found dead in Cancun on April 8, 2010. Husband Bruce Beresford-Redman, a former Survivor producer, was the prime suspect. But since then, Beresford-Redman has been attempting to block extradition alleging that Mexican police didn't investigate properly.

Today, Bruce was arrested for the murder of his wife. US Marshals and FBI agents reportedly visited his Rancho Palos Verdes home earlier this afternoon and then took him into custody.

Bruce continues to deny the charges brought against him. He claims Monica left the luxury resort they were staying at to go shopping and that she never came back.

Investigators say Monica died of "asphyxia by suffocation."

The accused husband will appear in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles tomorrow. Calls to Bruce's attorney's office have not yet been returned...
