On Monday, a jury convicted a man of fatally shooting a Connecticut couple on a walking trail last year.
Logan Clegg, 27, was arrested in Vermont about six months after Djeswende and Steven Reid, 66 and 67, were found dead near their Concord home in April 2022. The Concord Monitor reported that Clegg had a Glock 17, fake passport, $7,000 in cash, and a one-way plane ticket to Germany when he was arrested.
A motive was never revealed, but Clegg apparently encountered the Reids multiple times on the Marsh Loop Trail. The Reids were missing for three days before their bodies were discovered in a wooded area. A day before their bodies were found, police encountered Clegg on the trail and Clegg denied seeing the couple.
However, a woman claimed she saw a man peering into the woods minutes after the Reids passed her and she overheard gunshots. The description she provided resembled Clegg, according to the Concord Monitor.
Records indicated that Clegg burned the tent he was living in and took a bus to Maine shortly after cops questioned him. He traveled to Vermont a month later.
The Boston Globe reported that shell casings at the crime scene matched the gun Clegg was found with when he was arrested.
Clegg is believed to have arrived in Concord in November 2021 after spending nearly six months in Europe. He had no apparent ties to the Concord area and lived in a tent while working night shifts at McDonald’s.
According to the news outlet, Clegg, a felon, stabbed a man to death during a fight in Washington in 2018. However, Clegg claimed self-defense in that case and he was never charged.
A 16-person jury found Clegg guilty of second-degree murder, falsifying physical evidence, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for December 15.
