Among the many bizarre aspects to this story is what purported attorney for the suspected killer has been saying and doing. He actually tweeted out the NY Daily News article describing the events, including that his purported client:

• admitted killing someone to his girlfriend;
• swallowed cocaine when detectives came to interview him;
• was using a car in which dogs smelled blood;
• got in a fight with Stewart at a barber shop that night;
• boasted to people that he had served time for a shooting; and
• was seen on camera disposing of a body.

Here's an excerpt from the article:

This is absolutely horrible!

That is horrid! People can be so cruel. Stabbing? I’m still at a total loss as to the text to his Mom at 1:55am. I’m getting on my own nerves with it.

Sorry if this was already posted... I didn't see it upthread but might have missed it.

Angelo Nesimi’s lawyer, Mario Gallucci, alleges detectives pounded his client, forced him to lay in his own feces and threw him down a flight of stairs while he was in custody.

He also charged that a detective posed as a doctor to try to trick Nesimi into confessing that he killed Michael Stewart, 40, who disappeared Dec. 20 and is presumed to have been fatally stabbed.

Police are investigating whether the landlord let Nesimi stay in the apartment rent-free in exchange for drugs, the sources said.

”Both of his eyes are black and blue, his left arm is completely black and blue. There are bruises down his back, down his hips and down to his legs,” Gallucci said. “His injuries are consistent with being tossed off the table, off the walls. At one point, he was told to sleep in his own feces.”

Gallucci added that a detective dressed like a doctor told a hospitalized Nesimi that patient confidentiality meant they could speak in confidence about where he dumped Stewart’s body.

“He said it was the same detective that beat him a day later,” Gallucci said.

The NYPD did not comment on Gallucci’s allegations Wednesday night; a spokeswoman said the department hasn’t received any complaints from Nesimi or his lawyer alleging abuse.

You have a great point with calling 911. I was thinking maybe things were going south quickly, so he went to the bathroom, freaked out and texted her. But, it would make much more sense to call 911. Unless he was hiding somewhere else and couldn’t risk any noise. Then, I thought maybe they thought he was dead, but he came to and realized he likely wasn’t going to make it and managed to text her. But, why wouldn’t he say he loved her if that was the case, as a goodbye. Would the perp have known his Mom’s contact to text her? If he died on SI, I keep thinking they’d need to drive him to the dumpster before too many people are around. Say, before 4am-5am. This is all completely JMO and thoughts. I’m stumped.

I'm thinking if he wrote the text, it probably is just that: he had lost a lot of blood from the stabbing and perhaps had a head wound too, and as a result was very disoriented. He was so out of it and about to lose consciousness altogether and wasn't able to think clearly enough to realize he was just seconds or minutes from death, hence he wrote that message to his mom. Even as adults, many people will want their moms in times of great need or stress. Maybe that was all he was capable of thinking, that he wanted his mama.... So sad.

NYPD Stops Landfill Search for Missing Staten Island Father

Investigators believe it's possible that Stewart's body was dumped in New Jersey, and that sanitation workers may have picked it up with the trash and it was incinerated, the Advance reported, citing a source. Another source said surveillance video shows Nesimi and Sanchez tossing what could be a body into a Dumpster in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, before driving away in a Chrysler sedan.

If the video is clear and the identities can be verified along with ownership of the Chrysler sedan, it could be enough to name them POI's, bring them in and try to get them to roll on each other.

Charges are expected to be filed Monday in the disappearance and presumed murder of Staten Island dad Michael “Mikey” Stewart, who was last heard from in December — when he sent his mother a chilling text message, saying “Please help me.”

Sources told The Post on Sunday night that longtime person-of-interest Angelo Nesimi will be facing multiple charges — including murder, manslaughter, tampering with evidence and concealment of a human corpse — in connection to Stewart’s suspected death.

Suspect charged with murder in case of missing Staten Island man believed to have been stabbed to death and dumped - NY Daily News

A Staten Island man was charged Monday with murdering a father who has been missing and presumed dead for more than a month and trashing the body in a New Jersey dumpster.

Even though authorities have yet to find Michael Stewart’s remains, prosecutors charged Angelo Nesimi with murder and manslaughter, saying he stabbed Stewart to death in a dispute over a woman, then disposed of the body with the help of his landlord.

That’s the first time I’ve seen it stated that the dispute was over a woman. Maybe I just missed it. That’s so sad, man. The text Mikey sent to his Mom is just heartbreaking. This was a totally senseless ridiculous crime. So sad.

The victim and his accused killer, Angelo Nesimi, 33, ran into each other at a local barbershop Dec. 20 and were seen on surveillance footage high-fiving and catching up before Stewart went back to Nesimi’s apartment, prosecutors said.

That’s where Nesimi “used a dangerous knife to stab the victim in his residence. He did not call 911 or the police and disposed of the body.”

Nesimi hauled the body away in a car and cleaned up his apartment, removing the fridge, carpet, mirrors, towels, linens and garbage.

A break in the case came Dec. 31, when Nesimi was arrested for allegedly attacking his then-girlfriend, Zammara Sanchez, and she told detectives her boyfriend “killed somebody, and he made me go with him to get rid of the body in New Jersey.”

Nesimi was charged with murder in the second degree, manslaughter in the first degree, tampering with physical evidence and concealment of a human corpse. He was remanded on bail and will be back in court Feb. 28.

Angelo Nesimi and William Formica were charged Monday with multiple counts in connection with the disappearance and death of Michael Stewart, who was last seen alive on Staten Island on December 20.

His poor daughter. So sad. The Formica family scares me the more I read.

 

[JerseyGirl]

His body has still not been recovered, but one man has been charged with Stewart's homicide, while another was charged with helping clean up the crime scene.

Police first alerted the media to Stewart's disappearance on Dec. 29.

He was last seen at O'Neill's bar on Forest Avenue in Port Richmond Center, but a tip submitted showed that was not the case. Surveillance footage shows Stewart, 40, of Westerleigh, at a barbershop near the bar after the time police indicated he was last seen. Throughout the video, Stewart interacts with Angelo Nesimi, who authorities have identified as Stewart's alleged killer.

Authorities allege that Nesimi and Stewart made their way to a home on North Mada Avenue. That's where Nesimi allegedly stabbed and killed Stewart with a knife. Nesimi transported Stewart's corpse from the home to an unknown location, and then enlisted the help of his landlord, William Formica, an owner of Formica Construction, to help clean the apartment some time between Dec. 21 and Dec. 29.

Detectives were tipped off about statements Nesimi's girlfriend allegedly made to an EMT saying her boyfriend had killed someone. The woman had called 911 to report an accident, but EMTs found no sign of a wreck. At some point afterward, one of the responding EMTs heard Stewart was missing and reported the woman’s statement to cops.

Prosecutors unsealed a 22-count indictment against Nesimi and Formica in connection with Stewart's death and the alleged cover-up.
