Quigley, who got her start in Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” video, is reportedly safe and has received medical treatment at an undisclosed medical facility. Authorities located Quigley on Tuesday after “an extensive search.”

It was a 911 caller who helped locate the woman, recognizing her from a flier seeking her return. The caller then followed up by notifying police in the woman’s hometown of North Bergen Township of her whereabouts. Quigley was picked up by authorities and admitted to a hospital in New York under a false name she had given. The dancer’s identity was confirmed through a physical description that included several unique tattoos.

The dancer, who has performed with Rihanna, was last seen at Port Authority around 1 a.m. on Oct. 23, before she went missing. Her phone was found by police in a bridal store in the Chelsea area of New York City and her car was found at a rental car facility in New Jersey.

Rihanna and rapper Missy Elliott posted photos of Quigley on their social media accounts, begging fans to help find her. They recently both expressed their relief recently on Instagram.

“God is so merciful!!! Happy you’re alive and safe @shirlenequigley” Rihanna captioned under her post using a picture of herself with the dancer.

“I’m just thankful you are still here with us today,” Elliott wrote.
