BREAKING- Jill Biden's Ex-Husband Is Arrested For Murdering His Current Wife

A Delaware murder case drew national attention this week after it emerged that the suspect has a high-profile political connection.

William Stevenson, the former husband of former first lady Jill Biden, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of his current wife, Linda Stevenson, according to a grand jury indictment unsealed Monday.

Stevenson, 77, was taken into custody following what New Castle County police described as an extensive investigation lasting several weeks. Authorities have released limited details about the alleged crime, but confirmed the charge stems from a December 28 incident at the couple’s Wilmington area home.

Police were originally dispatched to the residence after receiving a report of a domestic dispute. When officers arrived, Linda Stevenson, 64, was found unresponsive in the living room. Despite lifesaving efforts by first responders, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Her body was later transferred to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy.

Officials have not publicly disclosed the cause of death, and it was not listed in the announcement of William Stevenson’s arrest. Investigators say the grand jury indictment followed a detailed review of evidence collected over multiple weeks.

Linda Stevenson was remembered by family and friends as devoted to her loved ones and an enthusiastic Philadelphia Eagles fan. In the later years of her life, she founded a small bookkeeping business, according to her obituary.

While the case is unrelated to current political activity, Stevenson’s past marriage to Jill Biden has added a layer of public scrutiny to the proceedings. Prosecutors have yet to outline their case in court, and further details are expected as the legal process moves forward.
