00:04:34
Daniel slicky went missing on December 2nd 2016 and luckily in this case the Farmington Hills Police Department
00:04:43
investigated her case as a missing case right away and very quickly shifted to a
00:04:49
criminal investigation As Time passed investigators work behind the scenes to gather as much evidence as possible
00:04:58
against Floyd given that they did not have the most crucial piece of evidence of all in any
00:05:06
murder investigation which of course would be Danny's body thousands of man hours went into trying to find Dany and
00:05:16
putting together a case against the suspect meanwhile all the public knew at this juncture was that the police
00:05:24
searched the home of a former security guard and removed some items from the premises in February of
00:05:33
2017 the chief denied that they had a suspect only saying quote we're building a case we are still making progress we
00:05:43
still have potential evidence to send to the lab but then on June 28th 2017 charges were announced no these
00:05:55
were not related to Danny's case these were charges relating to the sexual assault of a jogger in Hines Park in
00:06:05
Leonia in September of 2016 let's go through that case shall we here Captain I'm with you Colonel a
00:06:14
28-year-old woman called 911 and reported to police that she went jogging in Hines Park around 6:00 p.m. she said
00:06:23
that she parked near Joy Road in Farmington Road and ran 4 and A2 miles in Hines Park
00:06:30
she was training for a half marathon on her way back she took a path through a wooded area a man was coming in the
00:06:40
other direction on the path and as the two passed each other the man turned around and grabbed her from behind uhuh
00:06:49
he dragged her into the woods holding her in a choke hold with his arms the man climbed on top of her as he ped B
00:06:59
her to the ground punching her and choking her until she momentarily passed out she managed to yell at him what do
00:07:09
you want she screamed why are you doing this the Man simply answered I just want
00:07:16
sex the woman began pleading with her attacker to let her go and said that she had a family and a daughter it seems she
00:07:27
may have gotten through to the wbe rapist as he got off of her eventually and ran off as soon as the man left the
00:07:36
victim got up and went to go get help she flagged down two cars along hindes drive and called
00:07:44
911 her body was processed and DNA was collected but there was no match in the system but think about how cous and
00:07:54
strong she had to be I mean that's amazing but the jogger was able to provide police with a posit drawing of
00:08:00
the suspect and guess what this suspect look awfully a lot like someone who was now on the police's radar this was Floyd
00:08:13
Russell Galloway Jr yeah so we have this missing girl Danny that they've been looking at law enforcement has spend in
00:08:20
a bunch of time they have a possible suspect in the security guard Floyd and now we have this other attack happen
00:08:30
and the composite drawing looks just like the suspect that you have yeah this is really amazing because uh I've seen a
00:08:38
lot of composite sketches in our time doing our little garage work here captain and this one to me
00:08:48
like you you might as well had the best artist in the world sitting in a chair and staring and looking directly at
00:08:56
Floyd Russell Galloway Jr because it looks identical to him this is one of the best composite sketches that I have
00:09:04
seen yeah this artist would get A+ in my art class so the jogger our victim here
00:09:12
in the park case unfortunately was unable to pick Floyd out of a photo lineup and I think it was twice that she
00:09:21
wasn't able to pick him out of a photo lineup they were going to have to get some more solid evidence than just a
00:09:27
composite sketch according to WWJ news radio cell phone evidence put Floyd at the park on that
00:09:38
day and in some great great police work police compared the DNA taken from the rape victim with DNA that they collected
00:09:46
from Floyd's home in connection with the sicki investigation and it turns out that DNA was a match got him Floyd was
00:09:57
arrested on June 2 7th and charged with kidnapping criminal sexual conduct with intent to commit penetration and assault
00:10:07
with intent to do great bodily harm by strangulation this guy's a dirt bag at this time he was named as a person of
00:10:17
interest in the case of Daniel steslicki and police acknowledged that he was acquainted with Danny Dany and confirmed
00:10:26
that he had been questioned in Danny's case further it was announced that Floyd was also being investigated in
00:10:34
connection with yet another sexual assault case that occurred on June 10th of 2017 in Allen Park this case also
00:10:44
resulted in a sketch of the suspect which strongly resembled the per in the Hines Park case as for Danny's case the
00:10:56
Farmington Hills Police Department chief Chuck nebus stated quote the pieces of the puzzle
00:11:02
have been slowly falling into place since Danielle disappeared on December 2nd but Floyd refused to talk about
00:11:12
Danny's case he repeatedly took the fifth and avoided providing any information to law
00:11:20
enforcement whatsoever as a result of law enforcement linking Floyd to the jogger case from just three months
00:11:30
before Danny's Disappearance in July of 2017 there was a massive search of Hines
00:11:37
Park where the crime was committed this was the largest search for Dany to date authorities were hoping
00:11:47
that Floyd who they're hoping that he may have returned to the park to dispose of Dany there or at least
00:11:55
evidence of the murder of Dany in the Park yeah this was because the Farmington Hills Police Department
00:12:04
worked with FBI profilers who advise them that serial offenders often return to a spot that they have frequented in
00:12:13
the past so this search consisted of 155 police officers FBI agents and cadaver dogs 20
00:12:24
agencies 20 agencies were involved in this search all of the officers were briefed to look for her blue jacket that
00:12:32
we had mentioned uh her black shirt jeans and burgundy Boots the police chief in his public
00:12:42
statement said that law enforcement authorities have expressed since day one that Danielle SS licki was a victim of a
00:12:50
crime the facts of the case led us to believe that she is not alive several air l and water searches have been
00:13:00
conducted at various places throughout the investigation Hines Park is being searched as the result of a recent
00:13:09
Leonia and Farmington Hills joint investigation this investigation has led to criminal charges in Leonia against
00:13:18
Floyd Galloway uh at the time Captain he was listed a as a 30-year-old resident of
00:13:26
Berkeley because the leavon incident occurred in Hines Park it is a location that requires searching there is no
00:13:34
specific information or evidence that leads us that being local law enforcement to believe that Danny's
00:13:41
remains are in the park right quote the public is also asked to look for a tan and brown stripe comforter which could
00:13:50
also be important to this case end quote this is interesting because the chief police the the chief of police would not
00:13:58
discuss how the comforter was suspected to be be related to Danny's case but it seems clear that
00:14:07
officials you know even by his words they're pretty clear we do not believe that she is still alive so what is up
00:14:13
with this comforter well yeah I mean but they had multiple search warrants so we
00:14:18
probably know that they're getting this comforter from his house they took carpet samples they took wood floor
00:14:25
samples right so we have crime scene photos of Floyd's bedroom at the Berkeley home that show a white
00:14:34
comforter on the bed yeah but it turns out that this was not the comforter on the bed at the time of the crime before
00:14:42
the crime It is believed that Floyd's sister-in-law his wife's sister gave the police information that there had been a
00:14:52
striped Brown comforter on the bed but police did not find it during their December 7th search and in fact when
00:15:03
they pulled Floyd's credit card transaction history in the course of investigating him they discovered that
00:15:10
he had purchased a new white $110 comforter at Bed Bath and Beyond on December 4th just two days
00:15:21
after Dany was last seen and to take it a step further Floyd is visible on the Bed Bath and Beyond surveillance video
00:15:31
footage from that day purchasing the white comforter and leaving the store with it and kudos to her for coming
00:15:39
forward because she posted this thing on Facebook uh you know um of Danny basically saying here's this missing
00:15:47
girl that we're looking for and she she didn't believe that her brother-in-law was involved so she's like hey if we
00:15:54
find this girl if we help find this girl that will obviously clear my my brother-in-law but once she posted that
00:16:00
on Facebook her family went nuts her sister was telling her to take it down her family was taken down and she felt
00:16:08
like not only were they had the back of her brother-in-law but they were not telling her things about this missing
00:16:18
girl Danny like she felt like they knew more than they were telling her or police yeah so it it's it's interesting
00:16:27
because as you just pointed out out Floyd's wife's family had his back but it appears with the exception of the
00:16:38
sister-in-law and at some point you know she does say nice things about Floyd she
00:16:44
says he was lovable he was a part of our family we've known him for 10 years everybody really likes the guy he's nice
00:16:52
and very gentle and just look of course I've never had any conversations with with Floyd Galloway I've seen interviews
00:17:02
with him I will say he has what I would describe as like a quiet gentle face he does not kind of chubby just his
00:17:11
appearance does not send off any red flags to me you know he doesn't kind of has the Turtle face he looks very boy
00:17:20
next door to me um chubby Turtle face is what I'll call him well yeah and kind of
00:17:27
a baby a baby face it's just weird to think that Floyd's wife's family would be covering for him yeah I'm I don't
00:17:34
know how much her family knew or was covering for for this young man but um the the opposite of that is is the
00:17:45
sister-in-law because okay so the sister-in-law's name is Elizabeth Rose Newton she was not just Cooperative with
00:17:56
police but as you said Captain was active in the search for Danny so much so is that she was you know putting up
00:18:05
flyers and she was active in any of the search you know some of the searches as well as the Gatherings and such for this
00:18:13
this missing young woman and she's posting online to try to help find Danny as well it's believed that she is the
00:18:22
one that talked to police about the comforter of the missing comforter that police like would have had no idea what
00:18:30
have been missing at all had she not said it now why she has a different opinion of Floyd than the rest of the
00:18:38
family this kind of comes to light later where she says oh he's all creepo she recalled a
00:18:46
conversation that she had with Floyd where he told her and of course this is months before the fact of Danny going
00:18:54
missing mhm but he told her that he was addicted to pornography and he was considering
00:19:01
cheating on his wife yeah so of course she's going to have a much different opinion about this man
00:19:10
than the others a lot of these killers are Mr flicky flickies and this is interesting as well she says look the
00:19:17
police told me about there being eyewitnesses that saw them meaning Floyd her brother-in-law
00:19:26
and the missing young woman Danielle yeah I witnessed as it saw them at the house together at Floyd's house together
00:19:35
on Oxford Street in Berkeley yeah I believe she told this to the media but law enforcement never confirmed this but
00:19:41
I think it's something that they're trying to keep in the back of their pocket so I think that then this might
00:19:46
be a situation that might who knows if if the police were lying to the sister-in-law to try to get information
00:19:53
that she did not have um then that might be one of these situations she ends up telling this to
00:20:01
the media I don't think law enforcement lied to her I just don't think it was something that they wanted to release to
00:20:06
the media yeah she goes on to tell the media that my sister was in the hospital so she wasn't around and the fact that
00:20:13
he meaning Floyd has no explanation for his whereabouts on that day is very interesting as you pointed out Captain
00:20:22
it seems that it was hard for everyone who knew Floyd Galloway to believe that he was guilty of this stuff it seems
00:20:29
that in general he was well-liked and was seen as a totally normal guy he didn't have much of a police record just
00:20:38
a misdemeanor charge for DUI which was a while back this was in 2008 for which he got probation but
00:20:47
nonetheless the sister-in-law continued to stand up for her family who was supportive of Floyd and then as far as
00:20:57
social media goes Captain we have Rich stislicki who posted about how grateful he was for the sister-in-law helping out
00:21:07
in this case in March of 2017 Floyd filed for a personal protection order against the
00:21:16
sister-in-law basically saying that she was harassing and slandering him now Floyd's request was denied by a judge W
00:21:26
ridiculous even though Floyd's White stuck by her husband side during all of this it seems that the Leonia attempted
00:21:35
rape was the last straw for his wife eileene Galloway because she did file for divorce from Floyd while she while
00:21:45
he was awaiting trial now sadly remember she was battling cancer Eileen died in 2018 succumbing to her cancer at at the
00:21:58
young age of just 31 meanwhile in the attempted rape and murder charge from the Hines Park Incident Floyd continued
00:22:07
to deny involvement despite the DNA findings he rejected two separate plea deals before finally accepting his fate
00:22:18
was quite The Negotiator there captain in December of 2017 he did plead guilty to kidnapping criminal sexual conduct
00:22:26
and assault with intent to do bodily harm he was required to register as a sex offender for Life Floyd was forced
00:22:37
to read a statement in court confessing to attempting to rape the jogger he mumbled his way through it and the judge
00:22:46
had to ask him to speak up a number of times he was then sentenced to 16 to 35 years in prison and the stislicki family
00:22:58
was in the courtroom the day that he was sentenced yeah the judge had to say hey
00:23:03
piece of [ __ ] speak up yeah and there's some other interesting evidence that's
00:23:08
going to come out against Floyd as far as the slicky portion of this story goes so police clearly had
00:23:16
Floyd on their radar as a suspect very early on in the investigation it came out later that they had hidden a GPS
00:23:25
tracker on his vehicle for 36 hours before they took the vehicle and impounded it this was in
00:23:34
December of 2016 now we've seen that Witnesses named him as being seen with Dany on the last
00:23:42
day that she was seen and also when law enforcement tracked her phone it appeared to go to an area near Floyd's
00:23:49
home before traveling back to her apartment and then Vanishing from the network police had an idea
00:23:58
where to look for video surveillance footage of Danny's Jeep remember they still wanted to
00:24:05
know when the vehicle returned to the apartment right and its movements so the three significant points of interest in
00:24:15
this case form what looked like a capital T on a map the MetLife building is at the bottom of the te Floyd's
00:24:26
residence is at the right hand portion of the top of the tea and Danny's apartment is the leftand point of the
00:24:34
top of the tea so the drive between the their homes is pretty much a straight line a distance of
00:24:43
14.7 Miles police subpoena footage from some businesses along the Route right from the MetLife complex in Southfield
00:24:54
to Floyd's home in Berkeley and then between Floyd's home and Danny's home they found footage showing Danny's Jeep
00:25:02
Renegade with its visible mud pattern on the sides pulling up to a light heading
00:25:09
eastbound on 11 Mile Road at 5503 p.m. this is just a half mile from Floyd's home then at 7:56 p.m. the same Jeep
00:25:23
arrives westbound on 11 m heading toward Danny's apartment police announced early
00:25:33
on that they were not certain that it was Dany who was driving the jeep on this later trip to her home it is clear
00:25:42
that they believe that it was Floyd driving toward her apartment and that Dany was likely already dead by this
00:25:50
point or at least incapacitated and tied up at his home what is not known or if it is Police
00:26:00
just are not saying is whether her body was transported to some disposal site in
00:26:07
her own vehicle right of course her DNA would be in the vehicle since she she owned it and drove it and we know that
00:26:16
Floyd was a passenger since he was seen by Brandon Williams so his DNA could be in the vehicle as well but Floyd denied
00:26:25
two police seeing Danny that and when the jeep was found investigators noted that the passenger door handle appeared
00:26:34
to have been wiped clean apparently whoever that passenger was identified as Floyd of course but
00:26:44
whoever it was did not want evidence left behind that they were in the vehicle yeah and look we know that Floyd
00:26:52
has attacked other women so there's a some kind of level of criminal sophistication because these are
00:27:00
fantasies he's probably having over and over so then he's also looking for ways to cover his tracks it just seems like
00:27:07
law enforcement were were able to pick him as a suspect quickly and and move in on
00:27:14
him and collect this evidence uh to start building a case yeah they're looking to build a case against this guy
00:27:21
they're looking to collect evidence to support the idea that Dany was inside his home or possibly even killed inside
00:27:30
of Floyd's home on that day now after a couple of years Danny's parents decided to seek an order to declare Dany as
00:27:38
deceased since she was gone they were left trying to handle all of Danny's Affairs including bills and such there
00:27:47
were college loans car payments and other bills some of these were on auto pay her parents had their own jobs to
00:27:56
worry about as well as the constant public appearances they engaged in to help find their daughter and they did
00:28:05
not need the added financial burden of paying these bills they said that based on the information they were receiving
00:28:13
from the authorities they believed that Dany was no longer with them unwillingly
00:28:19
they had cleaned out Danny's apartment in February of 2017 and taken her cat to live with them saying at the time that
00:28:30
logically they recognized that she was not coming home and it's likely that the prosecutor told them that obtaining a
00:28:39
death certificate was a good idea to bolster the case for murder in 2018 judge Callahan of the Probate Court
00:28:49
issued a death certificate for Dany stating that she died on December 2nd 2006 [Music]

00:31:32
joining us cheers to you colonel in early 2019 the Michigan Attorney General's office took over Danny's case and a
00:31:42
brand new AG this is Dana nessle reviewed two years worth of evidence compiled by the Farmington Hills
00:31:52
detectives and others who assisted in this investigation and in March of 2019 charges were finally filed against
00:32:03
Floyd Galloway for first deegree premeditated murder of Danielle stislicki Nestle said that after taking
00:32:13
office as attorney general in January she reviewed the details of the case and thought that there was enough evidence
00:32:22
there to charge Galloway she described the evidence against him as compelling she felt that at this point not much
00:32:31
additional evidence would be forthcoming and they were going to have to proceed with what they had she stated that the
00:32:39
longer you wait the more issues with the evidence come up Witnesses forget things
00:32:46
uh material evidence degrades over time so she wants to push forward with these charges now she doesn't think her case
00:32:54
is getting any better against this guy right nessle said that she'd seen multiple cases of nobody murders
00:33:03
prosecuted successfully and had no doubt that they would that that would happen here she brought in a special prosecutor
00:33:12
to handle the case the very experienced noons Jamie pal Horowitz now Floyd was arraigned on
00:33:22
March 6th per Michigan law a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf so where do
00:33:31
they go from here what's the next step so the next step captain and Floyd's Journey Through the legal system was a
00:33:38
preliminary hearing this is an extended Hearing in front of a judge some other jurisdictions use a grand jury with
00:33:47
citizens determine the outcome but the purpose of the preliminary hearing or exam is for the judge to determine
00:33:54
whether there is probable cuse enough evidence to prove the charges the the the charg crimes were in fact
00:34:04
committed and if so the defendant would be bound over for a full-blown trial to determine
00:34:11
guilt as in a trial in the preliminary exam the burden of proof is on the prosecution and the proceedings is in
00:34:21
essence actually like a it's like a mini trial almost right and in a stroke of Lu
00:34:27
for True Crime devotees the entire proceedings for this case which Spann about two days and took
00:34:36
place in September of 2019 was videoed and is available for viewing on YouTube the special
00:34:44
prosecutor who was brought into to handle this proceeding for the state was that Jamie pal Horwitz and because she
00:34:53
had to show probable cause to believe that a crime was in fact committed but had no body because Danny was never
00:35:00
found she had to give the judge a lot of evidence more so than you would have to
00:35:08
if in fact there was a body and she did not disappoint now I should point out captain that the evidence itself against
00:35:19
Floyd is pretty much circumstantial but it is very possible that the prose ution has held back some
00:35:28
evidence even even with that exam going on that they are reserving some of it for the actual trial well Floyd has this
00:35:37
history the more you pile on him to prove that you know that he's guilty of a crime he might confess to it he might
00:35:45
end up uh striking a deal with them on this case so let's go through some of the evidence that we know that they have
00:35:53
against Floyd we know that they have two eyewitnesses who saw Floyd with Dany on
00:35:58
the evening that she disappeared these are the co-workers right and we also know that Floyd called in sick to work
00:36:05
for that same day so he's unaccounted for we think that it's possible that some of Floyd's neighbors saw Danny's
00:36:13
Jeep at Floyd's home or maybe even possibly Dany herself we know that Danny's phone was
00:36:22
at or near Floyd's home on the evening of her disappearance and went off the network
00:36:30
permanently the new information that came out at the preliminary exam is as follows detectives tracked Floyd's phone
00:36:39
he left home after 10:00 a.m. on December 2nd and after running an Aon he drove near the MetLife building his
00:36:52
phone pinged off of a tower there at 11:14 a.m. so the presumption here is that he was verifying that Danny's car
00:37:03
was in the parking lot that she was in fact at work right right setting up stalking her from there he went to the
00:37:10
hospital to visit his wife who is in there ill with cancer then he left the hospital and was
00:37:18
home by 2:58 p.m. around this time he text a friend his name is Brian Osborne that he was heading to work remember
00:37:30
Floyd's shift would have been from 3: to 11:00 p.m. that day but he called off and then his phone went home at
00:37:40
3:54 his phone started moving West in the direction of the metti building which would be an 11-minute drive from
00:37:49
his location yeah I find this a little fishy I mean he might just be answering the question oh I got to go to work so
00:37:55
that's the answer and lying about it or he's possibly establishing some kind of Alibi yeah he's supposed to be at work
00:38:02
he's just letting somebody know either you know it's either establishing an alibi or his friends asking him what
00:38:08
he's up to and he's just saying I'm going to work because I'm going to be busy abducting and murdering for the
00:38:16
next several hours his phone Floyd's phone was then turned off from 3:56 p.m. until 6:19
00:38:27
p.m. this is the time during which it is believed that he killed Danny at his home at 6:20 p.m. his phone came back on
00:38:38
and it was at his home it was located you know pinging in that Berkeley area right at this time his phone and Danny's
00:38:46
phone they were pinging from identical locations which would put both of the phones at or near Floyd's address yeah
00:38:56
Floyd's phone remained on at his home until 7:38 at which time it went it went off
00:39:05
again then starting at 7:53 remember Danny's phone started moving West from Floyd's neighborhood to
00:39:14
her own neighborhood arriving at 8:16 his phone was still off Danny's phone was permanently shut off at 8:16
00:39:24
p.m. and then at 9:39 Floyd's phone came back on and it's now located at his home so two of the detectives this is
00:39:35
detective Garrett and Molly who were very very smart and did some great work here so once they saw
00:39:43
that Floyd's phone they saw the movement and patterns of his phone they figured out that he drove to the MetLife
00:39:50
building on the afternoon of the 2 around 4M and waited there with his car hood up to lure Dany over to the vehicle
00:40:00
yeah it was like kind of like a Ted Bundy ruse then he somehow persuaded her to give him a ride home to his home
00:40:09
which would be in the opposite direction of her destination Rich szaki told the press
00:40:17
that his daughter was the type of person that would help someone out in need and
00:40:21
he hoped that her generosity and giving was not her final undoing Witnesses saw all of this and the video surveillance
00:40:30
footage shows Danny's Car moving toward his home and then a few hours later moving away from Floyd's house and
00:40:37
toward her apartment detectives figured that Floyd must have attacked and killed
00:40:43
Dany in his home and then driven her vehicle back to her apartment where he left it to try to make it look as though
00:40:52
she had gone home after work and whatever went down happened after after she went home right the fact that he
00:40:59
parked it in Danny's usual parking spot is pretty disturbing right because this means that he had likely seen it in
00:41:10
that spot before meaning he had tracked her followed her was driving by her apartment when she was home right the
00:41:19
question was how did Floyd then get back to the MetLife building where he left his vehicle
00:41:27
after driving her car back to her apartment right he could have taken a Uber or got a ride or something well
00:41:35
what they figured out was the detectives canvas the area near Danny's apartment and discovered that there was a Tim
00:41:44
Hortons at 10 Mile Road in Grand River which was about it was about 3/4 of a mile from
00:41:54
Danny's apartment old Timmy hoos and there on the video surveillance footage from the night of December 2nd
00:42:03
they saw Floyd Galloway yeah he walked into the Tim Hortons at 8:38 p.m paid cash for a coffee and asked to use the
00:42:15
business's phone to call a taxi cab now this is interesting too he was well he's
00:42:23
he called a taxi cab using a phone number written on a yellow sticky note that he pulled from his pocket like a
00:42:30
fake number the cab picked him up around 905 p.m. and guess what the the cab driver Sylvia Morris testified at the
00:42:41
preliminary exam that she remembered picking up Floyd she identified that the passenger as Floyd and said that he told
00:42:50
her that his car was broken down and he needed a ride to visit his girlfriend at
00:42:57
an address that he gave to her and this would be this is interesting he gives her an address to an apartment building
00:43:06
called Woodbridge Apartments located at uh 25325 groden Drive in Southfield she drives him there and
00:43:17
drops him off again he pays cash he paid for the coffee with cash he pays the cab
00:43:24
for cash this is more evidence that his movements everything he's doing is premeditated that he he planned a lot of
00:43:32
this out before he even got Danny to give him a ride back to his place yeah I mean he was stalking her he's obsessed
00:43:40
with her like you said he's coming up with all these plans ways to cover his tracks so they found surveillance
00:43:48
footage from the apartment building where the taxi cab dropped off Floyd this surveillance footage shows Floyd
00:43:57
Galloway getting out of a taxi cab at 9:20 p.m. walking toward the apartment building right okay then the cab drives
00:44:06
off and suddenly he turns around and starts walking away from the building and now he's walking in the direction of
00:44:14
the MetLife building which is just 300 yards away down Telegraph Road then at around I have a marker of
00:44:26
9:37 p.m. a Buick believed to be Floyd's vehicle was captured on video traveling
00:44:34
eastbound on 11 Mile in the direction of his home and of course if this is his vehicle his vehicle was working just
00:44:45
fine but then there was more on December 9th just one week after Dany vanished detectives walked the path from dany's
00:44:54
apartment to the Tim Horton examining every inch of the ground along the way and sure enough yeah along Grand River
00:45:02
Avenue on the way to the Tim Hortons they located Danny's missing Keys remember it has that distinctive
00:45:10
keychain yeah they found this in the grass near a highway entrance ramp on the other side of the ramp they found
00:45:20
Danny Slick's Fitbit this was in the path that Floyd would have walked from her place to the Tim Horton
00:45:30
now the Fitbit had been a bit of hold back information the police never told the public about the Fitbit and that's
00:45:39
interesting because we've seen in other cases a lot of times these these fitbits
00:45:43
you can you can locate them and they were probably hoping to do so uh electronically but were unable to for
00:45:50
whatever reason still a clever idea to follow the walking path the detectives continue to ask the public to look for
00:45:57
Danny's Keys even though they had actually found them only a week after her disappearance meaning if they get a
00:46:05
confession or if they get a guy in interrogation room this is information they're hoping to pull from the person
00:46:12
that actually committed the crime not somebody that's just making it up as they go
00:46:18
along and then the icing on the cake was when detectives executed the search warrant on December 7th in a surprise
00:46:26
search of Floyd's home they saw very quickly that a small patch of carpet uh had been replaced in the
00:46:34
master bedroom next to the bed this had been done they believed on December 2nd or shortly after because
00:46:44
they discovered that trash pickup from Floyd's home on Friday December 2nd uh his wife had text him from the hospital
00:46:54
reminding him to put out the trash which he acknowledged yes I'll put out the trash and scraps of carpet were found in
00:47:05
the trash at his house indicating that he had made the the carpet repairs after December 2nd so crime scene Tex removed
00:47:15
the carpet around that the patched area and lo and behold biological material on
00:47:21
the carpet near the patched area was traced using DNA and they got a match to Danielle s licki which proves that she
00:47:30
was inside his place so this DNA evidence Captain is going to lead investigators to how they believed
00:47:41
that Dany was killed because the DNA found on the carpet was not necessarily from blood
00:47:49
evidence it was from something that they called a a purge all right so the medical examiner testified that the DNA
00:47:58
possibly came from a clear fluid called Purge that he based his determination of
00:48:05
the manner of death meaning he believed that Dany had been murdered in that bedroom of Floyd's house and that the
00:48:13
cause of death which could not be determined because there's no body but he says was
00:48:19
likely asphixiation smothering strangling or choking or possibly even hanging because of this purging on the
00:48:39
carpet yeah and so it's going to be it was easily determined that they the charges were warranted that the crimes
00:48:49
that the prosecutions said were committed did in fact they were committed by someone and this of course
00:48:56
is going to lead to the decision that Floyd Galloway should be charged with first-degree Premed premeditated murder
00:49:04
in this case the problem we have here today Captain we still do not know where where Danny is Right which sucks
00:49:17
for the family so there remains quite a few unanswered questions such as how did
00:49:23
Floyd lure her in into the house because it doesn't seem that it I mean he may have forced her into the
00:49:33
home but we know she was in a hurry to get to dinner with her friend and driving Floyd home was already way out
00:49:41
of her way to help out this guy and the terrible truth is that no one other than
00:49:47
Floyd Galloway knows how he got her into the house but we seen with the text message possible gun before where he he
00:49:56
offered up a drinking game to try to get her to come back to his house uh some speculate her being a cat lover he may
00:50:03
have told her that he had a new cat or found one uh let me give you some gas money I just got to go inside and get it
00:50:11
you can come in with me there's any number of ways that he could have tricked this nice young woman into
00:50:17
following him into his home and we also don't know not only where Danny's body is but how it was
00:50:27
transported for disposal if it was her vehicle or one of the three vehicles that
00:50:35
were uh seized by police that belonged to Floyd Galloway and his family we do know that detectives believe that Dany
00:50:43
was dead by 6:20 p.m. when Floyd's phone came back online and it stayed at his house until
00:50:51
7:38 when it was turned back off and Floyd deposited her vehicle at her apartment complex by 8:16 p.m. walked to
00:51:01
the Tim Hortons and then got a cab to take him near his vehicle obviously he did not have Danny's body with him at
00:51:09
that point so he either got rid of her corpse between 738 and 8:16 on the drive to Independence Green
00:51:18
Apartments Danny's apartment or after he returned home around 9:40 p.m. that night right
00:51:26
his wife was in the hospital for another week so he had plenty of time to do whatever it is that he did without
00:51:35
rushing to cover his bases all we know is that by the time his home was searched on December 7th Dany was was
00:51:44
long gone again I hope they're able to put enough pressure on him get enough evidence built against him so he could
00:51:50
at least tell the family where their uh daughter and loved one is the other thing too there seems to be some thought
00:51:58
at least or possibility that some of the investigators may have thought that Floyd may have put Danny's body into a
00:52:05
dumpster because we mentioned already that many dumpsters in the area right were emptied or searched during these
00:52:14
initial searches for Dany so much so that they did search the landfill at some point as well that'd be hard now in
00:52:23
April of this year year the Detroit Free Press reported that they had obtained access to some documents relating to the
00:52:33
upcoming trial of Floyd Galloway the judge had made a ruling about a piece of evidence that she would allow the state
00:52:41
to present in Floyd's murder trial this was a conversation that an is licky recalled with her daughter Dany about
00:52:50
two months before Dany disappeared right the two were casually talking and Floyd's name came up because an had seen
00:53:00
Floyd walking Dany to her car right Dany told her mom that at the time Floyd said
00:53:07
something very odd to her which was that he could make a body disappear it seems that the documents
00:53:14
relating to this ruling were released to the media by mistake and were in violation of a seal
00:53:23
on all materials relating to to the case imposed by the judge early on this is some of the most recent information to
00:53:31
come out in this case and this of course is something that they are going to allow at the trial well but is that
00:53:38
going to be held up because of covid now as of now Floyd Galloway's trial is delayed because of covid Judge McMillan
00:53:46
pointed out that in light of the pandemic there are only they are only able to conduct one jury selection per
00:53:54
day day for the entire courthouse and are able to conduct only one trial per floor there is a pre-trial status
00:54:04
hearing scheduled for January 14th 2021 but no trial date has yet been set when the trial does happen it will be
00:54:16
fascinating to see the full scope of all of the evidence that the state of Michigan has against Floyd yeah I
00:54:22
believe they have more in their back pocket but we have eyewitnesses that put him at atti we
00:54:28
have eyewitnesses that put him in her vehicle they have eyewitness that put him in the vehicle without her they have
00:54:37
eyewitnesses of him and her at his place some sort of evidence whether that's DNA
00:54:44
blood from the carpet fibers to the wood planks that they ripped up and DNA both
00:54:52
hers and his well and with in regards to Floyd Galloway this is not a man that appears
00:54:59
to be dangerous there's nothing in his appearance that sets off any red flags and that's what's so scary about this
00:55:06
situation and in telling this story of what happened to Danny here we have a guy that clearly planned this thing out
00:55:17
took a lot of effort into covering his tracks so much so that they have not been able to locate and find her remains
00:55:26
but this True Crime Story it really has elements of stories that we've told before the lone jogger being attacked in
00:55:34
the park how many jogger cases have we covered it's it's appalling I mean it's it's shocking at the number of joggers
00:55:43
that we've covered that have been attacked and and we're we're only talking about a very small amount and
00:55:49
the grand scale of things but then you take it a step further you know what are we not
00:55:55
supposed to be scared of at this point this woman just went to work and spoke to somebody that she knew and somebody
00:56:01
that she probably thought was harmless yeah he was a security guard at her work they're there to protect you yeah and
00:56:10
and he he took advantage of somebody that was willing to help others and he used that to set a trap for her and he
00:56:21
very likely fixated on her for months months leading up to this and under the the quiet shell calm demeanor of this
00:56:32
guy that we see on the outside there clearly is a very very evil sick and twisted person inside a psychopath I
00:56:42
hope that this trial does not get delayed and I thought that one thing was that was absolutely brilliant was they
00:56:49
were interviewing a lot of the investigators and police officers that work so very hard on this case and did
00:56:56
such a good job not only in Danny's case but also the the related case that took
00:57:03
place in the park against Floyd but one of the police officers she said unfortunately there is no real
00:57:11
closure here now we've seen this time and time again and we know it to be true but in Floyd's case and in the case
00:57:20
against Floyd having seen his push back even when they had his DNA in the rape case where he twice did not agree to
00:57:31
plead guilty right even though they had DNA I almost feel like with Floyd he's going to continue to push back and push
00:57:38
this thing to trial unless they find Danny's body if they find Danny's body he might in fact plead guilty to this
00:57:47
and a trial could be avoided uh back to the statement of the police officer what
00:57:55
she said was was so true and it's something we need to keep in mind here as we still continue to search for
00:58:03
answers in dany's case she says that there is no closure and even when Danny's remains are located there will
00:58:11
not be closure for the family the only thing that we have been able to provide to her family is
00:58:22
