Jill Biden’s Ex-Husband Arrested, Charged in Murder of His Current Wife
Bill Stevenson, who was married to former first lady Jill Biden, was arrested and charged in the murder of his wife Linda Stevenson, authorities said on Tuesday, February 3, according to multiple reports.
Stevenson, 77, was taken into custody Monday and was charged with first-degree murder, according to a grand jury indictment filed in Delaware, per NBC News.
According to Mediaite, authorities stated that Stevenson was sent to the Howard Young Correctional Institution after failing to post $500,000 cash bail.
As National Enquirer previously reported, Linda was found unresponsive in the couple’s home near Elsmere, Delaware, after police responded to a domestic dispute call.
They reportedly found the 64-year-old unresponsive in the living room and began “life-saving measures.”
According to TMZ, which obtained dispatch audio from the incident, cardiac arrest was mentioned.
Biden and Stevenson married in 1970 when he was 23 and she was a student at the University of Delaware. They separated in 1974 and ultimately divorced.
She went on to marry Joe Biden in 1977, and she served as First Lady of the United States for four years during her husband’s term as president from 2020 to 2024.
