In a stunning development that has rocked Delaware and sent shockwaves through political circles, William Stevenson, the ex-husband of current First Lady Jill Biden, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his second wife, Linda Stevenson.
The 77-year-old Stevenson was taken into custody Monday following a Delaware grand jury indictment for the killing of 64-year-old Linda, who was found dead on December 28 in their New Castle County home. The charges mark a dark turn for the man who was once married to Jill Tracy Jacobs—now Jill Biden—from 1970 to 1975.
Social media users quickly connected the dots as news broke across multiple platforms. Twitter user @LoveWorldPeace9 posted: "Jill Biden's ex-husband is William 'Bill' Stevenson, who was recently charged with the murder of his current wife, Linda Stevenson, in Delaware. Jill & Bill were married from 1970 until divorce in 1975."
The irony is chilling—Stevenson had previously described Linda as "the greatest thing in my life," according to reports. Now he stands accused of taking that very life in what prosecutors are treating as a premeditated killing.
Another Biden Family Connection to Tragedy
This latest development adds yet another layer of controversy and tragedy to the extended Biden family orbit. While Jill Biden has long since moved on from her first marriage—eventually marrying Joe Biden in 1977—the charges against her ex-husband raise uncomfortable questions about the people in the First Family's past.
Multiple news outlets have confirmed the charges, with Twitter user @Jen80092294 noting: "Update: Multiple outlets now confirming — Jill Biden's ex-husband William Stevenson charged with first-degree murder in death of wife Linda Stevenson."
The White House has remained silent on the arrest, though it's unclear whether the First Lady has been briefed on the situation involving her former spouse.
As this story develops, Americans are left wondering: what other dark secrets lurk in the shadows of those connected to the Biden family? And how long before the mainstream media tries to bury this story to protect their favorite political dynasty?
