A formerly homeless Concord man was indicted on second-degree murder charges and other crimes related to the April homicides of retired couple Steve and Wendy Reid.

Logan Clegg, 26, faces two counts of second-degree murder for knowingly causing the deaths of the Reids, and two alternative counts of second-degree murder for recklessly causing their deaths by shooting them with a gun. Clegg also faces three counts of falsifying physical evidence for moving and concealing their bodies and burning his tent and campsite after their deaths, and one count of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Clegg continues to be held without bail and will be arraigned on these indictments at Merrimack County Superior Court on Jan. 30 at 10 a.m.

The Reids had left their home in the Alton Woods apartment complex for a walk around 2:22 p.m. on April 18 and never returned. Their bodies were found three days later near the Broken Ground hiking trails after their family reported them missing.

The Concord Police Department launched an extensive six month investigation assisted by the New Hampshire State Police that led to Clegg’s arrest in South Burlington, Vermont, in October. Clegg had already been charged with the murder by police and now faces indictment by a grand jury.

Clegg was living in the woods prior to the double homicide and burned his tent site and fled the area in the days after the shooting. Police said they later found bullet casings at the campsite that matched the ones found at the murder scene.

Following his arrest and a search of his campsite in Vermont, the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory was able to determine that the Glock 17 handgun found in Clegg’s tent was a match for the bullets, fragments and casings found at the crime scene, according to court documents.

Clegg was raised in Colville, Washington, a small mining town north of Spokane with a population of 5,000. He relocated to Spokane in 2014 and he was questioned by police in 2018 for fatally stabbing a man during a fight on his way to work.

The stabbing was ruled self-defense but Clegg had left the area before police could tell him he’d be cleared of all potential charges.

In 2020, he was arrested twice in Utah for breaking and entering, burglary and illegal possession of a firearm. At the time, Clegg was living in an abandoned building across the street from the police department when he was arrested, convicted and placed on probation. Per the requirements of his probationary period he was not permitted to leave the state for three years.

But 11 months later, he vanished to Europe for six months before arriving in Boston and making his way to Concord.

In February, Clegg traveled to northern Vermont where he purchased the Glock 17 using a fake identification, returned to Concord around the time the Reids were murdered, police said.

Clegg is being held without bail at the Merrimack County jail. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
