After several days of searching, a missing couple from Concord, New Hampshire, was discovered shot to death on a lonely walking route.
According to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, Stephen Reid, 67, and Djeswende Reid, 66, were last seen leaving their house for a stroll at about 2:22 p.m. on Monday.
On Thursday night, the Reids were discovered shot to death on the Broken Ground Trails. According to Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Mitchell Weinberg, both died of multiple gunshot wounds. The shootings were determined to be murders.
The investigation into the murders is still underway, according to police, who do not have a suspect or a motive.
The couple did not have any firearms, according to police, and there was no record of domestic violence. Authorities said the couple strolled on the path on a regular basis near their home where they were discovered murdered.
The attorney general’s office has also requested that anyone with surveillance cameras in the vicinity of the walking trails submit video to law authorities.
Stephen Reid was last seen by relatives on Monday, and the couple was reported missing on Wednesday when he failed to show up for his regular tennis match.
“Concord is one of the safest cities in the safest states,” Concord Police Chief Bradley Osgood said. According to Concord Police Department records, there was only one homicide reported in 2020, and eight total killings from 2016 to 2020.
“We have no specific information that would lead us to believe that the public in general is at any risk,” Ward said. “That being said, be vigilant. Take your normal daily precautions. The Concord police will continue to be vigilant with patrols.”
