Ex-Husband of Jill Biden Charged in Wife’s Killing

A quiet Delaware neighborhood became the center of a homicide investigation that now includes a figure tied to a former first lady’s past.

According to Fox News, authorities say 👤William Stevenson, 77, was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of his current wife, 👤Linda Stevenson.

Police in New Castle County confirmed the arrest on Tuesday following what they described as an extensive investigation.

Officers were first called to the couple’s home on Dec. 28 after receiving a report of a domestic dispute. When police arrived, they found 👤Linda Stevenson unresponsive inside the residence.

She was pronounced dead at the scene, and her body was later transferred to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy. As of Tuesday, authorities had not publicly disclosed a cause of death.

For several weeks, investigators worked the case behind the scenes. Police said the arrest followed a “weeks-long investigation,” though they did not release details about what evidence led them to Stevenson.

A grand jury returned an indictment Monday, clearing the way for Stevenson’s arrest. He was taken into custody and transported to the Howard Young Correctional Institution.
