Person Of Interest In Concord Double Homicide Case Arrested In Vermont

CONCORD, NH — A homeless man in South Burlington, Vermont, was arrested on Wednesday on warrants out of Utah and is considered a person of interest in a recent homicide case in Concord.

Police arrested Logan Clegg, 26, on Williston Road in South Burlington after being spotted by detectives from New Hampshire. Police in South Burlington, VT, said on Twitter that the detectives told them he was a person of interest in an unsolved homicide case from April in Concord.

The only unsolved homicide case is the double killing of Stephen and Djeswende Reid, a retired couple whose dead bodies were found on a trail in East Concord.

“With assistance from the Vermont State Police, Clegg was located at the South Burlington Public Library, where he was taken into custody without incident,” the report said.

Clegg was held without bail and is due to be arraigned on Thursday on a fugitive from justice charge in Chittenden Superior Court. The warrant was issued out of Utah in 2021 and stems from a felony possession of stolen property case for which he is on probation for, police said.

Michael Garrity, the director of communications with the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, said officials "made contact with a person of interest in this case" in Vermont. The contact "was the result of significant investigative efforts by the Concord Police Department and was done in coordination with its law enforcement partners," he added.

"No one has been arrested and charged in connection with the homicides," Garrity said. "The person of interest was taken into custody on an unrelated warrant out of Utah."

According to the Herald Journal in Utah, Clegg was accused of stealing firearms after burglarizing a sporting goods store in September 2020. The Cache Valley Daily reported he was accused of a string of different burglaries.

The Reids' bodies were found on April 21 in the Broken Ground Trail system off Portsmouth Street, specifically off of the Marsh Loop Trail. They died due to multiple gunshot wounds. They were last seen alive three days before.

The couple left their apartment at the Alton Woods complex on Loudon Road around 2:30 p.m. on April 18 for a walk, as they often did. They were reported missing on Wednesday after Stephen Reid missed a previously scheduled appointment on Tuesday. Later that day, a family member reported their cell phones, wallet, and purse were left in their apartment.

Family members reported the couple did not express any complaints about neighbors or residents, and they took walks a few times a week.

No official information about the case has been released for months.

A sketch of a person of interest was released in mid-May. The person of interest was described as a white man, in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, with a medium build, short brown hair, and clean-shaven. He was wearing a dark blue jacket, possibly with a hood, and khaki-colored pants. The man was also carrying a black backpack. The man was seen in the vicinity of the homicides when the Reids went missing.

An SUV caught on Concord School District bus dashcam footage, at the trail’s entrance around the same time the couple was last seen, had no connection to the case. The owner or operator of the vehicle was identified, interviewed, and cleared.

The pace of the investigation, lack of resolution, and lack of information provided to the public were frustrating to some, including the Reids’ adult children, Lindsay Reid and Brian Reid, who have taken to Facebook, Reddit, and other sites, to spread awareness about the case.

Lindsay Reid said the family had been trying to get more info from investigators — including ballistics and other evidence but had received the same answers as everyone else: specifics were not being released to protect the integrity of the investigation.

Brian Reid said in an online post that police had been “tight-lipped” about much of the details. He said their parents’ bodies were dragged away from the trail after they were killed — which may be why the attorney general’s office had stated their bodies were recovered “from a wooded area in close proximity” to the Marsh Loop Trail. Robbery did not appear to be a motive, but police had not released a lot of info about the motivation to the family. Police, he said, were using geofencing — the process of collecting wi-fi, GPS, RFID, and cellular data to track cellphones and other devices in use, in the area, at the time, as part of the investigation.

Hundreds of tips have been submitted to the attorney general's office.
