A 26-year-old man arrested Wednesday at the South Burlington Public Library is a “person of interest” in a New Hampshire homicide investigation in which a former Vermont couple was killed while walking near their Concord home, according to authorities.
Logan Clegg, who had no fixed address, appeared Thursday morning by video from the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans for a court hearing in Chittenden County Superior criminal court in Burlington. He was ordered held without bail on a probation violation out of Utah.
Shortly after his appearance, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office issued a release headlined, “Additional Information Regarding Homicides of Stephen and Djeswende Reid.”
The attorney general’s office did not use Clegg’s name, but stated that a “person of interest” in that homicide probe had been taken into custody in South Burlington on Wednesday.
“No one has been arrested and charged in connection with the homicides,” the release stated. “The person of interest was taken into custody on an unrelated warrant out of Utah.”
Court records made public following Clegg’s court hearing stated a detective with the Concord Police Department had reported that “Clegg was a suspect in a double homicide” that took place in April in Concord, and he is considered “highly dangerous.”
The Reids, who spent years working in Burlington, were found dead April 21 from multiple gunshot wounds in the Broken Ground Trails area of Concord, a short distance from their home.
Clegg’s underlying arrest warrant, South Burlington police stated in a press release, stems from Cache County in Utah. That 2021 warrant was issued in a felony possession of stolen property case for which he is currently on probation, according to police.
Clegg was taken into custody at the library without incident by police, the release stated. He was located at the library after New Hampshire detectives reported to South Burlington police Wednesday that Clegg was seen on Williston Road. Police tracked down Clegg at the library, where South Burlington Police Chief Shawn Burke described him as “relaxing” before he was taken into custody.
According to court records made public Thursday following Clegg’s court appearance, Concord police had received information Tuesday that Clegg had bought a one-way plane ticket to fly out of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York at 12:30 a.m. Friday, heading to Berlin, Germany.
