New Trial Date In Murder Of Oakland County Woman
The trial has been delayed multiple times, mainly over evidence.
FARMINGTON HILLS, MI — A judge has scheduled a new trial date for a man accused of killing Danielle Stislicki, who disappeared in 2016.
The trial has been delayed multiple times since Floyd Galloway was charged in connection with the 28-year-old's disappearance. He was charged with murder more than six years ago.
Questions over evidence have been the main reason for the delays. The new trial date is now set for Feb. 2, 2026. Another pre-trial hearing is scheduled for June 25 at 11 a.m.

Stislicki went missing on Dec. 2, 2016, after leaving her job at the MetLife office building in Southfield. She was last seen that night with Galloway, who worked as a security guard at the office, police said.
Police said Stislicki had plans to go to dinner with her best friend that evening, but did not show up and did not contact her friend.

The next day, police found her Jeep outside her home at the Independence Green apartments in Farmington Hills. Police said her purse and other items were still inside the Jeep.
Officials still haven't found Stislicki's body.
Three months before Stislicki went missing, Galloway sexually attacked a jogger at Hines Park in Livonia.
In that case, the then 28-year-old woman told police she was running eastbound on the Edward Hines Drive bicycle path west of Levan when she encountered a man who was walking in the opposite direction.
She attempted to jog past him, but he wrapped his arm around her neck, struck her on the side of the face, and the two struggled as the man attempted to drag her toward the Rouge River and remove her clothes after saying "he wanted to have sex with her," police said.
The woman was able to fight off her attacker and he fled. She flagged down a passing motorist and used his cell phone to report the attack to police, who searched the area, but were unable to locate the suspect, police said.
Galloway was later arrested in connection with the incident. He has been in prison since late 2017. The earliest he could be released is 2033.
