Concord, New Hampshire – After less than two days of deliberation, a jury reached a verdict in the trial of Logan Clegg, accused of killing a retired couple in Concord, New Hampshire, a year prior. The jury found Clegg guilty of all charges related to the deaths of Djeswende and Stephen Reid, who were fatally shot while hiking in April 2022.
The Reids were reported missing after leaving their Concord home for a walk on April 18, only to be discovered days later with multiple gunshot wounds. Clegg was apprehended in Vermont six months later, with investigators finding him in a library in South Burlington. The charges against Clegg included second-degree murder, falsifying evidence, and illegal possession of a firearm.
Following a three-week trial, the jury returned a guilty verdict on all nine charges. Despite the defense’s assertion that Clegg did not commit the murders, the prosecution painted a picture of senseless violence. Family members of the victims expressed relief at the verdict, with son Brian Reid noting that justice had been served.
Prosecutor Josh Speicher emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating that there was no justification for the heinous acts that led to the deaths of the Reids. A juror, who chose to remain anonymous, confirmed that the jury had reached a unanimous decision and felt a sense of closure.
Daughter-in-law Jackie Reid paid tribute to the couple, describing them as lifelong humanitarians beloved by many. The sentencing for Clegg was set for December 15, marking the next chapter in a tragic saga that has deeply affected the community.
