Foiled by his addiction to Mountain Dew Code Red. Yikes

I mean... who hasn't been.

> A week ago, South Burlington police requested a search warrant for Clegg’s backpack and a tent located off Patchen Road. The report said a black Glock 17 handgun was found inside a black holster in the backpack.

> “The handgun was fully loaded with Sig Luger 9 mm ammunition,” the report said, “the same type and caliber recovered at the burnt tent site and crime scene, with one round in the chamber.”

> Also in the bag was a passport, a letter addressed to “Arthur Kelly” containing an apparent Romanian passport card with the name “Claude Zemo” and Clegg’s photo, the report said. Cops also found $7,150 and two Vanilla gift cards, the report said.

A loaded handgun with one in the chamber, $7000 cash, and Romanian passport with an alias - but with his photo. It will be interesting to see where this investigation goes.

This dude screams homeless schizophrenic who had family support the more I read about him. Man this is all so messed up.

Wow what a story. Potential serial killer? Thank God they caught him.

Great write-up and amazing detective work

Really good article. Thanks for posting.

Man, that is one heck of a read!

It’s refreshing to find good journalism these days.

Really good article. It's some scary shit, though. I use trails all the time and every once in a while I'll see a tent. Mixed feelings on it because the only guy I knew that lived in a tent did so as he was down on his luck after a divorce. He went to work every day and, after a while, ended up finding an apartment. Pretty bad ass living in a tent in a NH winter. Other side of that coin is what this was - a bloodthirsty drifter with no regard for human life.

Both a phenomenal job done by the authorities and a hell of a write up.

Agree this is top notch detective work. It's amazing the information they found. How lucky the witness was. And it's just how much information can be traced with a thorough investigation. Seems makes this an open and shut case. And while this is a tragic story. At least there's closure for the families.

Damn actual good police work and great journalism, consider me surprised.

Thanks so much for the share and all of the comments. I appreciate it. :-)

ITs like seeing Hailey's comet.

Keep up the good work!

Way more interesting then I assumed. Thanks for posting.

Excellent job!

Can you imagine how miserable and depressing a job it must be to be the one in charge of reviewing months worth of Shaw's and Walmart security footage and records? At least it was worth it in this case, but man that must have been a slog.

Wow!

Amazing and dogged police work

What was his motive?

Almost seems like an AI might be able to handle at least some of it. Maybe not or the tech not quite there. But your right that not fun.

Seriously wild, the guy's been all over the place, tons going on. Good they got him.

Wow. I can’t even wrap my head around this whole thing.

Was the motive robbing the couple?

Who knows what it was. The guy in the picture looked out of his mind. This is exactly why people with things to live for like to be isolated from those with nothing to lose.

There doesn't have to be one that makes sense. This is why people want societies and neighborhoods where they don't have to be around people with nothing to lose. Maybe he thought they were coming for his Mountain Dew, maybe he was injecting meth and hallucinating, maybe he wanted media attention, maybe he has no control of his emotions, maybe he was just bored?

It is wise to stay a very safe distance from people who have nothing to lose or live for. Not saying you don't have to help, but keeping a safe distance is smart.

Tweakers and junkies love Mountain Dew.

Quite a world traveler…makes you wonder what else he did out there.

Said they found “glass” probably crack

That’s a cause, not really a motive.
