Accused murderer Logan Clegg was indicted on additional felony charge of falsifying physical evidence in relation to the deaths of Concord couple Steve and Wendy Reid. 

On May 17, a Merrimack County Grand Jury indicted Clegg, 27, on the new charge. Clegg, who remains in custody, already faces two counts of second-degree murder and other offenses in January. 

The indictment accused Clegg of altered, destroyed, concealed or removed evidence on his laptop on April 21, 2022 related to an ongoing investigation into the Reid’s death. Clegg is scheduled to go to trial in July. 

The Reids left their 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. 

Clegg was living in the woods prior to the double homicide and burned his tent and fled the area in the days after the shooting, according to court documents in Vermont, where Clegg was arrested in October. Police said they later found bullet casings at the campsite that matched the ones found at the murder scene. 

Following the deaths of the Reids, the Concord Police Department launched an extensive six month investigation with assistance from the New Hampshire State Police and the South Burlington Police Department that led to Clegg’s arrest in South Burlington, Vermont. 

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

The Reids were known for their years of humanitarian work around the world and had recently moved to Concord to retire. They were outdoor enthusiasts who frequently walked at the Broken Ground trails, family and friends said.
