TES Returning and Mark NeJame on board. August 16, 2009
It was announced on Friday that high profile Orlando attorney Mark Nejame announced that he, Tim Miller of Texas Eqqusearch and the Cummings family will hold a news conference on Monday, August 17 concerning Haleigh Cummings.
The Orlando Sentinel (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-nejame-equusearch-cummings-081409,0,2131721.story) stated “NeJame, EquuSearch founder Tim Miller and the Cummings family will hold a press conference in Orlando on Monday to talk about their plans to proceed with the search.”
Word of NeJame’s involvement has been met with concerns and questions. We know that Mark NeJame represented TES in the Caylee Anthony case. We also know that he represented George and Cindy Anthony for a period of time while Caylee was missing while their daughter was the prime suspect. It was stated in that article that Haleigh’s family contacted him to help find Haleigh.
If TES does return to search, they will need the permission of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office to do so. Warrants will be needed to search private property. Hopefully PCSO will direct the organization on areas that could use some attention; and hopefully one of those areas of interest will be PDM Bridge and the area around it as it appears that this area has not been searched extensively as of yet.
As to NeJame’s involvement, we don’t know if he is speaking in the capacity of counsel to TES or if he is representing a member of the Cummings family. Regardless, I believe his presence is a positive.
If he is representing TES he may be able to help them to execute extensive searches with the cooperation of law enforcement and the courts. If he is representing a member of the Cummings family, I believe he will demand that his client cooperate with the investigation and if possible, help to bring resolution to this case that has surpassed six months of searching for Haleigh.
