When Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel took office in January, she reviewed Stislicki's case with the Farmington Hills police and felt charges were warranted.
The pain of losing a child has not waned, but not knowing where she is has only added to the heartbreak. Stislicki's parents only have her death certificate, which lists homicide as the cause of death. They said they don't have anything they want to say, they just want to know where their daughter is.
