Although Beresford-Redman had not yet been charged with any crime, he reportedly was not allowed to leave Mexico while authorities investigated the death of Monica Beresford-Redman, a 42-year-old Los Angeles restaurant owner who was found dead in a Cancun sewer Thursday.

Her husband had reported her missing four days earlier.

The couple had been on vacation in the resort area with their two children at the time of her death.

Unidentified Mexican authorities involved in the case told "Good Morning America" hotel guests complained of hearing the couple fighting before the woman disappeared.

Investigators said they found inconsistencies in the 38-year-old television producer's account of what happened and expected to arrest him Monday, a report from "Good Morning America" said.

"GMA" said Beresford-Redman already has met with the high-profile Mexican attorney who successfully defended Duane Chapman of the "Dog, the Bounty Hunter" show when he was accused of illegally arresting a convicted rapist.

Beresford-Redman's TV credits include "Survivor" and "Pimp My Ride."
