Shirlene Quigley Update: Rihanna Backup Dancer Missing, Last Seen At Port Authority Bus Terminal [VIDEO]
Rihanna backup dancer Shirlene Quigley has gone missing, and the superstar is taking to social media to spread the word.
Quigley, a 32-year-old backup dancer who has also performed for such artists as Beyonce, Jamie Foxx and Missy Elliott, was last seen boarding a bus at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City on Sunday around 1 a.m. ET.
Both Rihanna and Elliott took to Instagram on Monday to inform their millions of followers to contact police if they have any info on her disappearance.
Rihanna posted a touching video of Quigley on Instagram, in which the dancer explains to the camera, "Imagine if we treated each other like we all really came from the same family. ... 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. If I make a connection, a relationship whether it be one minute, one year or the rest of my life, if you are in my life, I love you."

Rihanna and Elliott informed their followers to contact police in New Jersey, where Quigley lives alone, in the city of North Bergen.
Quigley's father said that she calls him every day at 6 p.m., and he started to worry when he didn't get a call this week. "I just want her to come home, or if someone has her to let her be," her father said in a statement. "She's everything to me. She's why I live."
Additionally, her father noted that she had made a cryptic comment to a friend recently: "Get ready, it's about to happen and I'm going to need you to sub for me." Her phone was found at a New York City bridal store.
