Shadows loom over Bill Stevenson, Jill Biden’s ex-husband, as a troubling incident unfolds in Delaware.
Late on December 28, police responded to a domestic violence call at Stevenson’s home, where they found his wife, Linda Stevenson, unresponsive in the living room, as reported by Nicki Swift.
Authorities have launched a death investigation, with an autopsy ordered to pinpoint the cause, though initial suspicions point to cardiac arrest based on dispatch audio. No charges have been filed yet, but whispers of foul play swirl. Linda’s daughter, Christina Vettori, hinted at darker possibilities, telling the Daily Mail, “It's still a murder investigation.”
Police in New Castle County remain tight-lipped, refusing to label this a murder probe. A spokesperson clarified to Radar, “No, it is a death investigation,” leaving the public grasping for answers.
Speculation runs wild online, with some quick to judge Stevenson’s character. One user on X remarked, “Thank god [Jill] got [out] of that relationship,” a jab that cuts deep given the messy history with his ex-wife.
This isn’t the first time Stevenson’s name has stirred controversy. His long-standing claims of infidelity involving Jill and Joe Biden have kept him in the headlines, often painting him as a bitter figure eager to spill secrets.
Stevenson and Jill Biden parted ways in 1974, finalizing their divorce by 1975. Since then, their lives have veered in starkly opposing directions, with Jill rising to prominence and Stevenson aligning himself with Donald Trump’s base.
He hasn’t shied away from criticizing her publicly, even penning a book, “The Biden Brothers & Jill, the Early Years,” to air grievances. In a 2024 interview with the New York Post, he said, “The Dr. Jill Biden who I've seen on TV in the last five years is not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way.”
Jill, for her part, has reflected on the pain of that failed union. Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar in 2022, she lamented, “I believed so much in the institution of marriage,” hinting at deep disillusionment with the man Stevenson became.
Their differences aren’t just personal but deeply ideological, splitting them across political lines. While Jill stands as a prominent Democratic figure, Stevenson’s vocal support for Trump paints a picture of irreconcilable worldviews.
His initial nod to Jill’s capability as first lady soured over time into sharp disappointment. That shift fuels public curiosity about whether old resentments play any role in how this current tragedy is perceived.
Yet, it’s worth pausing to consider the human toll here. Linda Stevenson’s death at 64, under such unclear circumstances, deserves focus beyond political mudslinging or past grudges.
For now, the investigation continues without clear answers, and jumping to conclusions serves no one. An autopsy may shed light, but until then, speculation only clouds the pursuit of facts.
This case, tangled with domestic violence allegations and a high-profile backstory, demands careful scrutiny. It’s a reminder that personal dramas, especially tied to public figures, often obscure the quiet pain of those directly affected.
While the public debates Stevenson’s character or Jill’s escape from that marriage, a family grieves. Let’s hope clarity comes soon, not just for headlines, but for Linda’s loved ones seeking closure.
