She gave a concert in Monterrey and went to the airport after it ended. They took off from MMMY Sunday around 3:00 am. I provide that feed. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to recover old audio clips  :|

RIP Jenni Rivera

@Rentero - LiveATC has an ATC Audio Archive link where you can access past recordings, I was able to find where one of the pilots is checking in with MMMY Departure (callsign is November 345 Mike Charlie - N345MC) at about 19min and 34secs into the recording, he is at 3000 feet and requesting 37,000 feet (FL370), departure clears him to FL370 and then at about 23min and 49secs departure hands him over to the next ATC frequency 124.5 Mhz which is not covered on this feed so it is the last we hear from them. (To access recorded feed click ATC Audio Archive on left link menu on LiveATC homepage, choose UTC date Sunday Dec. 9th, 2012, MMMY (Monterrey) and 0900z-0930z GMT/UTC time)

"MEXICO CITY — The plane carrying Mexican-American music superstar Jenni Rivera plunged almost vertically from more than 28,000 feet and hit the ground in a nose-dive at a speed that may have exceeded 600 miles per hour, Mexico's top transportation official said Tuesday.

In the first detailed account of the moments leading up to the crash that killed Rivera and six other people, Secretary of Communications and Transportation Gerardo Ruiz Esparza told Radio Formula that the twin-engine turbojet hit the ground 1.2 miles from where it began falling"
