A quiet domestic dispute escalated into a shocking tragedy in Delaware, culminating in the arrest of William Stevenson, 77. Stevenson, identified in reports as the former husband of First Lady Jill Biden, now faces a charge of first-degree murder.
Police responded to a call on December 28th, discovering Linda Stevenson unresponsive at their home. Despite immediate efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene, initiating a meticulous investigation by the New Castle County Police.
The investigation, spanning several weeks, involved a deep dive into the circumstances surrounding Linda Stevenson’s death. Authorities have remained tight-lipped regarding the specific cause of death, releasing no details as of Tuesday.
A grand jury formally indicted Stevenson on Monday, leading to his immediate arrest and subsequent detention. He is currently held at the Howard Young Correctional Institution, unable to meet the $500,000 cash bail set by the court.
The case resurfaces a chapter from Jill Biden’s past. She married Stevenson in 1970, while an 18-year-old student at the University of Delaware, and their union lasted five years before ending in divorce.
Following the divorce, Jill Biden’s life took a different path, eventually leading to her marriage with then-Senator Joe Biden. This recent development brings a somber note to a past that had largely remained private.
The investigation continues, promising to reveal further details about the events leading to Linda Stevenson’s death and the charges against her husband. The community awaits answers as the legal process unfolds.
