CONCORD, N.H. – New Hampshire investigators are looking to speak with the owner or driver of a vehicle seen in Concord around the time Stephen and Djeswende Reid went missing. The couple was later found murdered in a wooded area nearby.

On April 18, Stephen and Djeswende Reid left the Alton Woods apartment complex where they lived just after 2 p.m. and went for a walk in the area of Broken Ground Trails. 

They were found dead on April 21 from multiple gunshot wounds.

New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella and Concord Police Chief Bradley Osgood released photos Thursday showing a dark green Toyota RAV4 with a model year from 2006-2012.

Police are hoping to speak to the person who owns or was driving it on April 18. The RAV4 was parked at the Marsh Loop trailhead on Portsmouth Road that day.  

"Investigators are working to identify anyone they possibly can that was in the area that day," said New Hampshire Senior Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward. "That includes identifying vehicles that are trailheads and connecting them with people they've spoken to who were traveling on those trails. For this particular vehicle, we have not been able to identify or speak to anyone associated with this vehicle. And that's the import of the ask today."

Earlier this month, investigators released a sketch showing a person of interest in the case.

"There is no known connection between the person of interest in that sketch and this vehicle," Ward said.

Police said that within hours of releasing the sketch, they received more than 170 tips, some which were helpful in the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Concord Police Department at (603) 225-8600.
