*Police are investigating the disappearance of 32-year-old Shirlene Quigley, a background dancer from New Jersey who has performed behind Beyonce and Rihanna.

According to her Facebook page, Quigley lives alone in North Bergen and teaches dance at Peridance Capezio Center and Broadway Dance Center in Manhattan. She was last seen getting on a bus at Port Authority around 1 a.m. Sunday, her father said, according to NBCNewYork.com.

Her dad, who lives in California, said Quigley normally calls him every day around 6 p.m., and he grew worried when he hadn’t heard from her.

“I just want her to come home, or if someone has her to let her be,” the father said. “She’s everything to me. She’s why I live.”

According to NBC New York, Quigley’s landlord last saw her leave her New Jersey home Saturday afternoon and later called a friend to say Quigley did not seem well, the friend said.

Quigley’s phone was found at a bridal store in Chelsea, New York before she disappeared. She mysteriously texted to a friend, “get ready, it’s about to happen and I’m going to need you to sub for me.”

Her father says she could’ve been at the bridal store to pick up something for a show. He said his daughter attended Liberty Church in Brooklyn and that she’s very religious. He added that lately she has seemed “euphoric.”
