The disappearance of Quigley, whose cellphone was discovered in a bridal shop, comes shortly after the dancer reportedly made the following remark to a friend: “Get ready, it’s about to happen and I’m going to need you to sub for me.”
Her father, who says he speaks to her every evening, noticed Quigley went missing when he hadn’t heard from her. Quigley’s landlord reached also out to a friend of hers to inform them that Quigley did not seem well on Saturday.
