Missing BU grad student

BOSTON, Mass. (AP) - Efforts to find a missing Boston graduate student are being stepped up nearly a week after his disappearance.

Friends and relatives of 23-year-old Jonathan Dailey have started a Facebook page and have spent time plastering the city with fliers.

Dailey left his apartment in Boston's Allston-Brighton neighborhood last Tuesday at about 9:30 p.m. and has not been seen since. He was reported missing when he failed to show up for work at a Cambridge clothing store on Friday.

There has been no activity on his cellphone, bank account or email accounts since he left Tuesday.

Dailey is a North Carolina native who is attending Boston Architectural College. Police say he is 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs about 160 pounds, has brown eyes and black hair.
