Jill Bidenâs Ex-Husband Arrested for Alleged Murder of Wife
William Stevenson, the ex-husband of former first lady Jill Biden, was arrested on Monday on charges of first-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife, Linda Stevenson, 64. The incident took place in their Delaware home in Oak Hill back in December, as reported by Fox 29.
Police responded to a domestic dispute call on December 28, where they found Linda unresponsive on the floor. Despite attempts to revive her, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death has not been disclosed yet.
Background and Arrest
William Stevenson, 77, who owns The Stone Balloon college bar near the University of Delaware, is currently held on $500,000 bail following his arrest after a thorough weeks-long investigation. Stevenson and Jill Biden were married for five years before divorcing in 1975. Jill later married then-Senator Joe Biden.
Stevenson has previously accused Jill of having an affair with Joe Biden before their divorce. He alleged that their relationship started during Joe Biden’s first campaign for Senate in 1972, a time when both Stevenson and Jill were close to him. The suspicion of an affair grew in 1974, according to Stevenson.
Personal Life and Allegations
Joe Biden’s first wife, Neilia, and their infant daughter tragically died in a car accident in 1972. Following this tragedy, Joe and Jill claimed to have met on a set-up date in 1975 after both became single. This timeline contradicts Stevenson’s claims of an affair prior to his divorce from Jill.
The case continues to unfold as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding Linda Stevenson’s death. The community and individuals involved are left reeling from the shocking events that have transpired.
As the legal process moves forward, more details are expected to emerge regarding the murder charges against William Stevenson and the impact it may have on those connected to the case.
