(WWJ) There's been another delay in the criminal case of a man charged with the nearly six-year-old disappearance, and presumed murder case of Farmington Hills woman Danielle Stislicki.
An evidentiary hearing in the case against Floyd Galloway, Jr., set for Wednesday afternoon in Oakland County Circuit Court was adjourned before it began. A new date has yet to be set.
The adjourned hearing was set to concern evidence that the defendant's attorneys argue should not be allowed at trial.
Stislicki, of Farmington Hills, disappeared after she left work in Southfield in December of 2016. While her body has not been found, Floyd Galloway Jr. has been charged with her murder.
According to Fox 2 News, Galloway's lawyers accused Troy's former police chief of breaking the law when he shared the results of a polygraph test that the Galloway took with the Farmington Hills' former police chief. The defense called the sharing of information a violation of due process.

While the murder case drags on, Galloway remains in prison for attacking a jogger in a Livonia's Hines Park in 2017, three months before Stislicki went missing. He pleaded guilty to kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, and assault with intent to do bodily harm and was sentenced to 16 to 35 years in prison.
Stislicki was last seen on December, 2, 2016. The 28-year-old, who went by "Dani," planned to meet up with a friend for dinner that night, but never showed up. Her Jeep was found a day later parked outside her home at the Independence Green apartments, in the area of Halsted and Grand River in Farmington Hills, with her purse inside. Police found no signs of a struggle but said Stislicki was likely the victim of a crime.
At the time of her disappearance, Galloway was employed as a security guard at MetLife where Stislicki worked. When searched Galloway's home a few weeks after Stislicki went missing, neighbors said they saw officers taking a mattress and other items out of the home.
Oakland County Medical Examiner L.J. Dragovic in December of 2018 issued a death certificate for Stislicki, stating she appears to have been a victim of assault, abducted by force and killed by violence on the day she disappeared.
Despite the fact that there is no body, WWJ Legal Analyst Charlie Langton said prosecutors apparently determined there was enough circumstantial evidence to charge Galloway with first degree murder. It remains to be seen whether or not there is enough evidence to convict.
