Irene Silverman had quite literally danced her way from poverty to a dream job as a ballet dancer at Radio City Music Hall.

And by the time of our story, she was a healthy, wealthy widow with a fine, big townhouse in New York's most expensive neighborhood.

It was for companionship as much as anything that Irene rented rooms in her mansion.

Her tenants included some A-list celebrities like Daniel Day-Lewis and Lenny Kravitz and Chaka Khan.

She lived by herself.

She rented just for fun and to also keep herself company.

The day after Irene's bash, July 5th, was as quiet as a country church on a Monday morning at the NYPD's 19th precinct, where Detective Tom Hovigum was working his shift.

Tell me about July 5th.

You were on duty.

What was it like?

The missing elderly woman was Irene Silverman.

With that in mind, Detective Hovigim drove to the Upper East Side, to the six-story townhouse, a stone's throw from Central Park.

This townhouse, what was that like?

She was living the grand life, that woman.

The staff last saw Irene inside her house that morning, shortly before noon.

She appeared to have left without telling anyone.

Not what she would ever do, ever.

Which is why they reported her missing.

But no sign of Irene.

And curiously, two other people seem to have vanished too.
