The ex-husband of former First Lady Jill Biden, who has been accused of killing his wife late last year, pleaded not guilty in the case during a virtual court appearance on Tuesday.
William Stevenson, a Delaware man who was briefly married to Biden decades ago, is facing a count of first-degree murder in connection with the slaying of his wife, Linda Stevenson. She was found in the couple’s home in the Wilmington area on Dec. 28, after authorities responded to the residence to investigate reports of a potential domestic violence incident.
When officers arrived on the scene around 11 p.m., they discovered Linda unresponsive in the living room, where she was pronounced dead a short time later despite first responders’ efforts to revive her, the New Castle County Police Department previously said.
Stevenson was the one who made the initial 911 call, and he was present when police arrived, TMZ reported, further noting that dispatch audio included mention of “cardiac arrest.” He was arrested following a weeks-long investigation into the matter and has been behind bars since February 3, given he failed to post his $500,000 bond. Few other details in the case, including Linda’s cause of death, have been provided. A motive for the slaying was also still unknown.
“One hug from her and all your worries would disappear,” her daughter, Christine Mae, wrote in a Facebook post. “The pain of losing her is paralyzing and the emptiness in my heart is an abyss.”

She also ran a bookkeeping business, while her 77-year-old husband is locally known for founding Stone Balloon, a popular music venue in Newark, Delaware, in the early 1970s.
Stevenson was married to Biden from 1970 to 1975.
In her memoir, the former First Lady recalled meeting Stevenson while she was a student at the University of Delaware. They tied the knot when she was just 18 years old, and she has since described their relationship as “a mistake of youth.” She further explained their marriage unraveled as they grew apart, calling its collapse “the biggest disappointment of my young life.”
Stevenson in a 2024 interview with Newsmax, took aim at Biden and their short-lived relationship, describing their divorce as contentious, while labeling her “bitter” and “nasty.”
Following their split, Biden married then-U.S. Sen. Joe Biden in 1977, and they remain together until this day. The former first lady and former President have not publicly commented on the murder case.
