Galloway Jr. used to work as a security guard at Stislicki's place of work. After her disappearance, police searched Galloway Jr.'s home, taking a mattress away as possible evidence.
"I am here, I’m going to be here along with a community of many…and we are not going to stop until justice is served," said Ann.
She says she will take time to be with family as the anniversary of Danielle's disappearance approaches.
"We totally... appreciate the support that everybody in the community and family members have done for us. We will do whatever it takes to continue to keep Danielle Stislicki’s name out in the public so that we can bring resolve," said Ann.
Galloway Jr. is facing 16-35 years in prison in the Hines Park case. His sentencing is scheduled for December 8.
