Monica’s body was found in a sewer at Cancun's Moon Palace resort, where the couple had been staying with their children.
Attorney general Francisco Alor later revealed that Monica's body had -- among other things -- scratches on the neck and signs of asphyxiation.
Monica was first reported missing Tuesday by her husband, who alleged that she had left the resort to go shopping and never came back.

Investigators returned to search Bruce’s hotel room last night.
