By Joe KovacsAn Emmy-winning network producer for ABC News who went "missing" after an FBI raid on his home has now been seen in public for the first time since his vanishing, apparently living with his mother at her townhouse in McLean, Virginia.
The Daily Mail reports: "James Gordon Meek has emerged from hiding – but refuses to discuss the mysterious FBI raid that brought his storied journalism career to an abrupt halt."
The paper also says Meek "ducked out of a glittering award ceremony held one week later where he was due to collect a prize for his coverage of Joe Biden's chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan."
The 53-year-old reportedly told the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation he could not accept the award.
In April, heavily armed federal law-enforcement agents descended on Meek's penthouse apartment in Arlington, Virginia.
He subsequently resigned abruptly from ABC News and withdrew from participation in a book he was writing about Biden and Afghanistan.
His friends say he was "AWOL for the past six months" after moving out of his upscale penthouse at Siena Park in Arlington.
