Michigan woman Danielle Stislicki has been missing for almost five months and very little has been released about any progress made regarding the investigation surrounding her case. Although the Farmington Hills woman has thousands of supporters who have not wavered in their efforts to find her, one media outlet is asking why more has not been reported about the matter. Additionally, Danielle’s parents have reached out to the public with a plea, asking people to temporarily change their Facebook profiles over the next few days to celebrate their birthdays.

Just days ago, Wendy Reed with Channel 95.7 posted an article asking why more people aren’t talking about Danielle’s case and why individuals, especially in West Michigan, haven’t heard more about the missing woman. Many have been asking the same question, wondering why more information has not been made public about progress police have made when it comes to finding Danielle.

The Farmington Hills Police Department has publicly commented on Danielle’s disappearance and confirmed she was the victim of a crime. Authorities have also noted they have obtained evidence in the matter that is being tested by the crime lab. Additionally, police announced they are deliberately remaining tight-lipped about Danielle’s case because giving the public information would not be prudent while the investigation is ongoing.

Despite this, some news media outlets have released some information about the investigation, reporting that in December, shortly after Danielle vanished, law enforcement searched a home in Berkley and reportedly removed a mattress and some floorboards from the residence that are now being tested, according to Click on Detroit. Despite this, no one has been named a suspect or person of interest in connection to Danielle’s disappearance.

In an effort to assist in getting the word out about Danielle, her parents recently took to Facebook and asked that for a couple of days users temporarily change their profile picture to one that features their missing daughter.

The missing woman’s father, Rich Stislicki, posted a message asking the following.

“Ann and I celebrate our birthdays over May 1st and April 29th. It would be much appreciated if you temporarily change your profile picture to Danielle Ann Stislicki for those two days, or share this post…”

The image the Stislickis have requested people use includes a phone number for individuals to call with information about Danielle’s case, as well as a clear message that states as follows.

“We will never stop…looking, sharing, posting, talking… We will never go away.”

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.

The website www.finddani.org is another place where those who want to support the search for Danielle can find a bevy of information about her case. In addition, in the “How Can I Help?” section of the website it features social media links to the Twitter page @find_dani and details about tagging tweets and retweets. In addition, a link exists to the finddaniellestislicki Instagram page where memories of the young woman are being shared.

At press, a Go Fund Me campaign offering a reward for information that will lead to Danielle had jumped to $33,070, surpassing its original goal of $25,000 by several thousand dollars. 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 $133,070.

Anyone who has information regarding Danielle Stislicki is urged to call the Farmington Hills Police Command Desk at 248-871-2610 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP or 1-800-773-2587. Those who call with any information about the missing woman can remain anonymous if they so desire.
