Homeless Drifter Indicted On 8 Charges In Retired Concord Couple Murder Case

CONCORD, NH — A Merrimack County Grand Jury has officially indicted a homeless drifter from the western part of the United States accused of shooting and killing a retired couple in Concord in April 2022.

Logan Lavar Clegg, 26, was indicted on eight felony counts, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said Friday.

The indictments include two counts of second-degree murder, accused of shooting and killing Stephen and Djeswende Reid on April 18, 2022, on the Marsh Loop trail in East Concord; two counts of second-degree murder (alternative — for “recklessly causing the death” of the couple “under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of human life by shooting her with a gun”); three counts of falsifying physical evidence — accused of physically moving their bodies to conceal them and burning his tent and campsite to hide evidence; and a single count of convicted felon, for being a felon accused of possessing a firearm.

On Dec. 9, 2022, Clegg, via his attorneys, petitioned the Merrimack County Superior Court to release property seized during his arrest, including a wallet that contained $7,150 in cash.

“The money in the possession of Mr. Clegg was unrelated to the investigation or charges,” the lawyers wrote.

The attorneys said the state had no objection to releasing the property — “after the monies are photographed or copied.”

It is unknown, at post time, if Clegg has received his wallet or money.

In a filing from Dec. 22, the attorney general's office requested the unsealing of warrants, search warrants, affidavits, and other items in the case.

The request said the state was providing discovery to Clegg’s legal team, and the unsealing of the documents would facilitate the process. At that time, Joshua Speicher, an assistant attorney general, said the department was persuing two murder charges and expected evidence to be presented to a grand jury in the middle of this month.

Clegg is being held without bail in the Merrimack County Jail. He was scheduled for a dispositional conference hearing on Jan. 30.
