Shirlene Quigley, a 32-year-old professional dancer, has been reported missing after friends and family said they hadn't seen or been able to contact her over the weekend.
Quigley was last seen around 1 a.m. Sunday at Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City, WPIX reported. Her landlord saw her leaving her North Bergen residence on Saturday, police said.
Quigley, a Los Angeles native and New Jersey resident, was reportedly wearing a pink top, jeans, and heels when she was last seen. She also may appear disoriented and in need of medical attention, WPIX reported.
Rihanna is among the many people that have aided in search efforts. The singer posted a plea on social media Tuesday.
"This beautiful soul and former dancer of mine is missing," Rihanna wrote in a post on Instagram. "My heart aches thinking of how heavy this is on all who love her."
"Imagine if we treated each other like we all came from the same family," Quigley says in the video Rihanna shared. "I know people probably think I'm crazy because I'm always telling everyone 'I love you! I love you!' Because the minute that I meet somebody I do love them because I know in my heart and in my spirit that that's my brother and my sister, that's my neighbor."
Quigley, whose Facebook profile said that she teaches dance lessons at Peridance Capezio Center and Broadway Dance Center in Manhattan, may be disoriented and in need of medical attention, according to WPXI.
Quigley's father reported her missing Monday after he hadn't heard from her during the weekend. He told WNBC she usually calls him every day.
He also said she recently made a comment to a friend, saying, "Get ready. It's about to happen, and I'm going to need you to sub for me."
According to Buzzfeed, Quigley has also performed with Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige and Missy Elliot, who also posted a message on social media asking for information about the dancer's whereabouts.
"Need help from the whole Dance Community to spread the word," Elliott wrote on Instagram. "Those who have met her know her spirit is always bubbly and kind & uplifting energy! Sending countless prayers."
"I just want her to come home, or if someone has her to let her be," Quigley's father told WNBC. "She's everything to me. She's why I live."
