Bill Stevenson Indicted for Murder of Linda Stevenson, Ex-Jill Biden Husband Arrested
Linda Stevenson's death leads to a first-degree murder indictment of her husband, Bill Stevenson, Jill Biden's ex-husband, who was taken into custody after a December incident.
Bill Stevenson, the ex-husband of former First Lady Jill Biden, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge in connection with the death of his wife, Linda Stevenson, and was taken into custody without incident on Monday, February 2, according to the New Castle County Police Department.
A now-deleted Facebook post questioned why Stevenson wasn’t listed in Linda’s obituary, published weeks before his arrest, highlighting how online questions can surface amid a high-profile case. The grand jury indictment accuses Stevenson of intentionally causing Linda Stevenson's death in December. He was placed in custody as investigators and prosecutors pursue the case.
Linda Stevenson’s obituary describes a life that included her daughter, Christina, granddaughter Ciara, and other family members, noting she died at age 64 after a December incident described as a “reported domestic dispute.” The obituary states she is survived by relatives but does not mention her husband by name, a detail that sparked public curiosity in the days leading up to the indictment.
The charges come after a Delaware grand jury handed up an indictment linking Stevenson to the death, and he was taken into custody by New Castle County police. Officials have not released additional details about a possible motive, and court proceedings will determine the path forward in this case. The investigation remains active as prosecutors prepare for the next steps in court.
