A plane apparently carrying Mexican superstar Jenni Rivera went missing in Mexico then was found with no apparent survivors, authorities say. Transportation and communication minister Gerardo Ruiz Esparza tells Mexican television that the plane was found in Nuevo Leon and "everything points toward it being the plane" that carried the Mexican-American singer and six others. The US-registered Learjet 25 went missing early Sunday after taking off from the city of Monterrey. Jorge Domene, spokesman for Nuevo Leon's government, said the plane left Monterrey about 3:30 am after a concert there and aviation authorities lost contact with the craft about 10 minutes later. It had been scheduled to arrive in Toluca, outside Mexico City, about an hour later. Domene said a search for the plane was launched early Sunday, with helicopters from the local civilian protection agency flying over the state. He said seven people including the crew were believed to be aboard the US-registered Learjet 25. The 43-year-old who was born and raised in Long Beach, California, is known for her interpretations of Mexican regional music known as nortena and banda. Rivera spoke about her scare with breast cancer to Fox News Latino earlier this year. | From: Johnny D Views: 3 0 ratings | |
