University and Boston police are still searching for the second man suspected in the alleged Saturday rapes of a Business School student and her female friend.
Saul L. Chafin, chief of University police, said yesterday, "We have reason to believe that he is not in the immediate area at this time."
Chafin said he and four detectives on the University police are "trying different approaches" to locate the suspect. He refused, to elaborate further, however.
Daniel Steiner, '54, general counsel to the University, was unavailable for comment yesterday. James A. Saalfield, assistant dean for administrative affairs at the B-School, refused comment on the precautions the School is taking in response to the two rapes.
University and MIT police Saturday arrested Daris J. Davis, a 19-year-old from Dorchester, in connection with the rapes, but lost the other suspect in a chase near the B.U. Bridge on Memorial Drive.
Davis was arraigned in Brighton District Court Saturday on charges of rape, assault with a deadly weapon and robbery. His trial is set for April 28.
