I suppose means (gun) & opportunity (living homeless near trail?) may be in evidence.
I also feel this is a very targeted attack. But I doubt the Reids crossed paths with LC in Burlington. According to their obituary, they left Burlington in 2009 for Haiti and retired from Niger in 2019 to reside in Concord.RBBM
IMO there could definitely be a Burlington, VT, connection between the suspect and the Reids. Where could they have crossed paths & why? Such a vicious crime with both Reids shot multiple times in an unexpected place lends itself to being a potential personal vendetta or targeted stalking. The bodies being "hidden" off-trail suggests it was not random also.
Hopefully, LE is pursuing this angle, among others.

I think your last thought is likely what went went down. Judging by that previous stabbing incident, I think this guy might be a hot head. Perhaps he was camping there and they told him he couldn't or something.I also feel this is a very targeted attack. But I doubt the Reids crossed paths with LC in Burlington.

Perhaps, the Reids, being kind humanitarians, encountered him on the trail and offered him help or interacted in a way that was not well received?
I agree. I think this monster had a hair trigger temper. It may have been something as simple as they got too close to his encampment. I wonder why he was on their radar back in September and if we'll find he's charged for other unsolved murders. He seems to travel a lot.I think your last thought is likely what went went down.

I mean, there's really not much of an expectation of that people walking in the woods would have a lot of valuables on them, so I think robbery is unlikely.
I hope we do learn what the motive was.
I think it just has to be DNA. He'd be in the system for his Utah escapade.I agree. I think this monster had a hair trigger temper.

I don't think their bodies were hidden off trail. I think Wendy and Stephen saw something off the trail, walked over to investigate and were shot. My guess is that what they saw was Clegg's belongings or tent and when they got too close, Clegg shot them. Then Clegg packed up his belongings and left. JMORBBM

Excellent point! Yes, I had forgotten about that, Clegg would be in the system.I think it just has to be DNA. He'd be in the system for his Utah escapade.

Charged with 2nd degree murder of the Reids, an offense defined as not premeditated.Man arrested in South Burlington faces murder charges in deaths of former Vermont couple in New Hampshire
Extradition hearing today (in St. Albans, not Burlington, because that's where they're holding him).
Or ballistics. With all the stolen guns this guy has been caught with in his waistband, this was my first thought. Geofence shows his cell phone is in the area, they track him down and find ballistic evidence at his campsite.They knew who they were looking for, which is why they were in Vermont. I've got to believe they have DNA evidence that connects him. Not much else it could be.
