Today marks the ninth anniversary of Danielle's disappearance. What a shame that she hasn't received justice yet! I hope and pray that a trial will actually happen in the near future so that Dani's family can have closure after all these years.

Here's an article on the Appeal hearing

Appeals court upholds suppression of bank card evidence in Danielle Stislicki case

Floyd Galloway is charged with first-degree premeditated homicide for the death of Stislicki, who went missing Dec. 2, 2016 after leaving work.

www.theoaklandpress.com

January 12, 2026

Prosecutors who appealed an Oakland County judge’s ruling last year suppressing evidence gleaned from the bank card of Danielle Stislicki’s suspected killer recently lost their bid.

In a Jan. 9 unpublished opinion, a Court of Appeals panel ruled that Floyd Galloway, Jr.’s purchase of a new comforter soon after Stislicki disappeared more than nine years ago can’t be presented at his trial in Oakland County Circuit Court — scheduled to start Feb. 2.
[.....]
The appeals court judges agreed with defense attorney Ellen Michaels that Galloway’s Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure was violated when investigators obtained his TCF bank card records showing the purchase; his wallet, confiscated when Galloway’s Berkley house was searched, wasn’t specified in the search warrant. The judges also said investigators used attorney-client privileged information from the leaked polygraph to identify Galloway’s bank.[/I]


I am still checking for any hearings before trial on 2/2/26.

What's next on this case? Trial, appeal or dismissal?

Good questions. So much evidence has been stricken from the record, I'm not sure how much of a case remains. Not to mention the fact that Danielle's remains have never been located. Dani's family can't be too happy about FG's successes with the Appeals Court.
