Problem Statement

Let DD be a point on side [BC][BC] of triangle ABCABC such that [AD][AD] is an angle bisector, BD=4|BD|=4, and DC=3|DC|=3. Let EE be a point on side [AB][AB] and different than AA such that m(BED^)=m(DEC^)m(\widehat{BED})=m(\widehat{DEC}). If the perpendicular bisector of segment [AE][AE] meets the line BCBC at MM, what is CM|CM|?
