A 27-year-old man in New Hampshire may spend the rest of his life behind bars for executing an elderly couple last year on a hiking trail, fatally shooting the 67-year-old man and his 66-year-old wife while they were out for a walk. A jury in Merrimack County found Logan L. Clegg — known to local authorities as “Mountain Dew Man” for the number of empty cans littering his campsite — guilty on all charges, including four counts of second-degree murder in the April 2022 slayings of Stephen Reid and Djeswende “Wendy” Reid, video broadcasted by Law&Crime shows.

Clegg was also found guilty on four counts of falsifying evidence and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm following the nearly three-week trial, prosecutors said.

“We’re obviously very happy,” Assistant New Hampshire Attorney General Josh Speicher said in a statement following the verdict. “We think the jury got it right. They were very thoughtful and attentive throughout a very long and arduous trial with a lot of difficult concepts. So, again, we’re happy for the families most of all, that there’s some closure here and some accountability.”

Brian Reid, the son of Stephen and Wendy Reid, also spoke to reporters after the proceedings came to a close.

“A liar, a thief, a murderer has been brought to justice today,” Brian Reid said. “The legacy of my parents’ humanitarian work, their kindness and their love for life will endure. Let today be a reminder of the value of human life and the strength of community. For myself, our families and everyone who carried and shared our pain, may the justice that has been served aid in the work of our healing.”
