Shirlene Amber Quigley, a Broadway dancer who has worked with the likes of Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Missy Elliott, is no longer missing.

Earlier this week, the 32-year-old’s friends and family became concerned after she didn’t make her daily phone call to her father, who lives in California. Quigley’s loved ones failed to located her, and became increasingly alarmed after learning about a mysterious message she sent to a friend earlier that night, which read: “Get ready, it's about to happen and I'm going to need you to sub for me."

TMZ reports the dancer, who resides in North Bergen, New Jersey, was found somewhere in the state and is now receiving medical treatment at an undisclosed facility; however, there is no information on what kind of treatment she’s getting.

Shortly after the dancer was reported missing on Monday, friends and family went to social media calling for help to find her. Rihanna and Missy Elliot also posted Instagram messages requesting any information on her whereabouts.

Missy later replaced her original post with one thanking her followers for their prayers.

According to NBC 4 News, Quigley was last seen at the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 1 a.m. Sunday. Her cell phone was later discovered at a Manhattan bridal store, where she reportedly went to pick up an item for a show. The phone is now reportedly in the possession of the NYPD.
