Danielle Stislicki Disappearance: Galloway Faces Preliminary Exam In Separate Case

Floyd Galloway Jr. — who has ties to the Danielle Stislicki case — faced a preliminary examination Tuesday in Livonia in a separate case.

METRO DETROIT, MI — A 30-year-old Berkley man charged with criminal sexual conduct in connection with an attempted rape in Livonia was scheduled for a preliminary examination Tuesday at 16th District Court. Floyd Galloway Jr. — who has been linked to the Danielle Stislicki disappearance investigation — is also charged with Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm Less Than Murder by Strangulation in the Livonia case.

Stislicki, who lived in a Farmington Hills apartment, went missing Dec. 2, 2016. Her Jeep was found outside her home at the Independence Green apartments the following day, but police think it was driven there by a third party. Her purse and other items were still inside. She was last seen at MetLife.

Galloway worked at MetLife as a security guard. Farmington Hills Police last year raided his Berkley apartment as part of the investigation, but he was not arrested in the case. In June, Farmington Hills police acknowledged that they’ve interviewed Galloway about Stislicki’s disappearance, but declined to name him as a person of interest.

Meanwhile, Galloway was arrested in June in connection with the Livonia case. His bond was set at $750,000 cash. The purpose of the preliminary examination is to determine if enough evidence exists to bind him over for trial at the Wayne County Circuit Court.

The Stislicki investigation remains active. Multiple police agencies have been involved in the case and Farmington Hills said in a June interview with Patch that nearly every member of their police force has worked the case in way or another.

“Over 100 law enforcement officers, evidence technicians, and lab personnel have been diligently working on the Stislicki case,” added Farmington Hills Police Chief Chuck Nebus.
