Authorities say they're still looking for more information from the public about the killing of a Concord couple last April, after arresting a 26-year-old man in Vermont in connection with their deaths.
Steve and Wendy Reid were found shot near a walking trail close to their apartment. The Reids were a retired couple: He was a Peace Corps volunteer who worked in international aid; she helped resettle refugees in the area.
Logan Levar Clegg was charged Wednesday with two counts of second-degree murder “for knowingly causing” the Reid’s deaths. Authorities in Vermont first detained Clegg last week on charges he violated his probation related to a theft case in Utah. Clegg had been wanted for questioning related to the killing of the Reids and was identified as a person of interest in connection with the case.
Before his arrest last week, Clegg had purchased a one-way ticket to Germany. A Vermont superior court judge denied his bail request on the charges out of Utah.
At a Thursday press conference, authorities declined to release a possible motive or any evidence they have linking Clegg to the killing.
Concord Police Chief Brad Osgood said he hoped the arrest brought some relief to the city.
“The Concord community was shocked by the deaths of Wendy and Stephen Reid, and we hope that today may allow for a sense of healing for the community, and the Reid family,” Osgood said Thursday.
Attorney General John Formella also expressed “heartfelt sympathy and condolences” toward the Reids’ family and friends.
“We know this has been a difficult few months for them,” he said.
No other information, including a possible motive or evidence linking Clegg to the killings, were immediately disclosed. WMUR reports that during a Thursday court appearance, Clegg waived extradition, clearing his return to New Hampshire to face the charges.
Law enforcement officials are requesting anyone with information about Clegg or the murders contact the Concord Police Department’s tip line at 603-226-3100.
