Investigators Search for Clues in Missing Student's Death

The events leading up to the death of missing grad student Jonathan Dailey are still unclear, and it could be weeks or longer before more details emerge, investigators say. 

Although the state medical examiner has completed a preliminary autopsy on Dailey, he has yet to announce any conclusions as to how the missing graduate student died.

Dailey had been missing since last Tuesday. His body was found this Tuesday, reportedly chained to a cinder block in the Charles River. 

According to the Boston Herald, police are looking into his background and looking for surveillance video from his neighborhood in Allston for any clues. 

“We will review any footage if we can obtain it,” Wark said, according to the Herald. 

As the investigation continues, the Dailey family said waiting for information on Jonathan's death is "too much to bear," according to a posting by Robyn Dailey, Jonathan's sister, on the family's Missing Jonathan Dailey Facebook page. 

"We are all in agony, disbelief and shock right now not only from the helplessness of having Jon be missing and the overwhelming grief of knowing he has died, but also because of the horror of not knowing what happened," she wrote. "The investigators told us it will probably be a long time until they know and we will not be told anything during the process... The knowledge of your love for us has been critical."
