Danielle Stislicki Update: Person Of Interest In Missing Woman Case Offered Plea Deal In Jogger Attack
On Friday, a man who’s considered a person of interest in the Danielle Stislicki disappearance was offered a plea deal in an unrelated jogger attack.
Floyd Galloway Jr., 30, has been charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, and assault with the intent to commit murder in the jogger case, according to the Detroit Free Press. The attack allegedly took place in September 2016, two months before Danielle vanished.
Galloway has not been charged with any crime related to Danielle’s disappearance.
According to Click on Detroit, Galloway was offered a plea deal that stipulates if he pleads guilty to kidnapping and criminal sexual conduct and assault with intent to do bodily harm, the charge of intent to commit murder would be dropped. The deal would result in Galloway spending from 15 to 35 years behind bars.
If he takes the deal, Galloway would also be placed on the lifetime sex offender registry, according to WXYZ Detroit.
At press time he had not yet accepted the deal, but he must do so by November 10.
Galloway is now being held on a $350,000 cash surety bond and “no 10 percent,” Click on Detroit reports. If he is able to come up with the bond, he will be released and required to be monitored via GPS under house arrest at his parents’ home.

Livonia Police Chief Curtis Caid confirmed to CWD that Galloway was “the last person to be seen with Danielle….” He added that after comparing DNA from Danielle’s case and that of the female jogger, “There was a match between the two cases… That was the right guy.”
Galloway’s house has been searched several times with a mattress and some floorboards removed from the home.
Danielle, 28 at the time, went missing in the late afternoon of Friday, December 2, 2016, after leaving her job at MetLife at around 5 p.m. She had plans later in the evening to meet a lifelong female friend for dinner after first stopping at her apartment on the way home from work.
When Danielle failed to show up for the planned dinner, her friend became extremely worried. When she was unable to make contact with Danielle by Saturday and Danielle failed to show up for work, the friend became alarmed. She then headed to the Independence Green apartment complex where Danielle lives and when the friend arrived, she found Danielle’s Jeep Renegade parked near her apartment.
Local law enforcement later announced that inside Danielle’s locked Jeep was her purse, her identification, and her credit cards. Danielle’s keys and cell phone were nowhere to be found; thus, authorities announced her key ring contains a unique key charm consisting of a yellow figure with a green body and yellow legs. Danielle’s cell phone is a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime in a rose gold case.
Danielle is described as being 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 123 pounds. She has brown wavy medium-length hair and was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, a blue Eddie Bauer jacket, and burgundy boots when she vanished.
Police want to speak to anyone who may have spotted Danielle or her Jeep between 5 p.m. on Friday, December 2, and 6 p.m. on Saturday, December 3, when her vehicle was found. Danielle’s vehicle is a black 2015 Jeep Renegade with Michigan License Plate DGH 8957.

Danielle’s employer, MetLife, is offering a $50,000 reward, and the Independence Green apartment complex where Danielle lives is offering another $50,000, making the current reward $134,715.
