A New Hampshire man who was living in a tent in the woods was found guilty
of murdering a retired couple who had gone for a walk on a local hiking
trail.
On Monday, a jury in Concord convicted Logan Clegg, 27, on four counts of
second-degree murder, one count of being a felon in possession of a
firearm, and four counts of falsifying physical evidence in the deaths of
Stephen Reid, 67, and his wife, Djeswende “Wendy” Reid, 66.
Clegg was found guilty of both “knowingly and recklessly causing the
deaths of Stephen and Djeswende Reid” on April 18, 2022, “under
circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of human
life by shooting them with a gun,” Attorney General John Formella and
Concord Police Chief Bradley Osgood said in a joint statement.
Shortly before 2:30 p.m. on April 18, 2022, Stephen and Djeswende left
their Alton Woods apartment and headed toward the area of Broken Ground
Trails near their house, the New Hampshire Department of Justice said at
the time.

Missing After Taking a Walk
Recently retired, the couple had done international development work, NBC
Boston reports.
A relative reported them missing two days later after Stephen failed to
show up for an event, the Concord Police Department said.
Their family last saw them on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022.
"They are avid outdoors people and are known to take frequent walks along
the trails near their Concord residence," police said at the time. "Their
absence and lack of communication with family-friends are
uncharacteristic, and their disappearance is of significant concern."

The last time anyone communicated with the Reids was on Monday, April 18,
2022. Their bodies were found in the woods a few days later, covered with
leaves and sticks, police said.
They were shot multiple times, police said.
When questioned by police, Clegg gave a different name, The Associated
Press reports.
He also burned his tent and erased information on his computer,
prosecutors said, KATV reports.
When he was arrested in South Burlington, Vt., he was found with a one-way
plane ticket to Berlin, Germany, a fake passport and a gun in his
backpack, prosecutors said, the AP reports.
His lawyers said police arrested the wrong suspect.
They said he left New Hampshire because he had been hiding out from police
after he violated his probation on burglary and theft charges in Utah, the
AP reports.
His lawyers also said that the shell casings and bullets found in the
woods could have come from many different guns, according to NBC Boston.
“Logan Clegg is not guilty,” one of his lawyers, Mariana Dominguez, told
the jury in her closing arguments, per NBC Boston. “Police investigated,
but instead of looking at the science and at the evidence with clear eyes,
they speculated. They assumed. ... They saw only what they wanted to see.
They got the wrong guy.”
