Jill Biden's Ex-Husband Charged With Murdering Wife

William Stevenson, the ex-husband of former first lady Jill Biden, was arrested and charged on Tuesday with murdering his wife, Linda.

Stevenson was facing a first-degree murder charge in Delaware several weeks after his wife was discovered unresponsive in her living room while police responded to a domestic dispute call on Dec. 28, according to NBC News. The charges came following an “extensive weeks-long investigation” into Linda’s death, authorities said.

Police with the New Castle County Police Department said they attempted to perform life-saving measures on Linda after finding her unconscious upon arrival, according to NBC News. She was soon pronounced dead and her body was turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy.

Stevenson is being held at Howard Young Correctional Institution after failing to pay a $500,000 bond, NBC News reported.
