Vigil Held for Jenni Rivera

Brother says “we still have hope that she’s alive.”

Fans of singer Jenni Rivera held a vigil outside her parents’ Los Angeles home on Monday night. Rivera’s brother, meanwhile, said that although he knew there is a “95 percent chance” she is dead, “we still have hope that she is alive.” Rivera, 43, has not been confirmed dead by the Mexican government, but the plane carrying her and six others crashed and there were no survivors. Rivera performed Saturday night in Monterrey, Mexico, and appeared happy and tranquil at a press conference after the show. Hours later, she boarded a small passenger plane, which lost contact with air traffic controllers about 10 minutes into the flight.
