Not true --- so of course it can't be proved.

AC and BD bisecting each other means ABCD is a parallelogram.

Point E is not defined; we only know that CE=BE, which means E is somewhere on the perpendicular bisector of side BC.

But in the general case -- even if E is the midpoint of BC -- it is NOT true that AE and DE are congruent.
