Monica’s family said that Bruce was having an affair, and the couple went to Mexico to rekindle their marriage. Monica’s sister, Carla Burgos, told RadarOnline.com exclusively: "There were witnesses who heard someone screaming and calling for help,” in the swanky hotel. Cardana tells RadarOnline.com that there were no security cameras in that part of the resort.
