She was reportedly seen boarding a Manhattan-bound bus, but it was unclear as to where exactly she was going.
Her phone was then located in a Chelsea bridal shop.
She was described as being in a “euphoric” state of mind in the lead-up to her disappearance, with one friend alleging that they received a strange Facebook message from the dancer telling them to “get ready, it’s about to happen”.
Rihanna has appealed to fans to help find missing dancer Shirlene Quigley, who was last seen boarding a Manhattan-bound bus in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The Work singer took to Instagram last night to issue an emotional plea which refers to the 32-year-old New Jersey-based woman as a “beautiful soul” and features a video of the dancer promoting kindness.
Alongside the video, Rihanna – who has worked with the dancer on numerous occasions – wrote: “This beautiful soul, and former dancer of mine is MISSING!!!! My heart aches thinking of how heavy this is on all who love her!”

According to NBC, Shirlene’s phone was found in a Chelsea bridal shop.
Her father – who is based in California – believes she could have been in the shop collecting something for a show as she was deeply religious, celibate and is not believed to have been in a relationship.
Before her disappearance, the dance teacher was described as acting in a “euphoric” manner.
