Jill Biden's ex-husband arrested and charged with killing his current wife

Source: NBC News

William Stevenson, 77, was taken into custody Monday and is facing a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Linda Stevenson, according to a grand jury indictment filed in Delaware.

New Castle County police did not provide details on the death, but an initial release had noted that officers responded to a domestic dispute Dec. 28 at a residence in the Wilmington area.

Linda Stevenson was found unresponsive in the living room and died despite lifesaving measures by officers at the scene. The press release at the time said that her body was turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy.

A cause of death was not included in the statement on William Stevenson's arrest. The grand jury's indictment Monday was the result of an "extensive weekslong investigation" into the death, police said.

is still a great subject of interest to people. When the suspect was close to famous person, it can be all the more so.. I don't get the seeming 'annoyance' and befuddlement about it.

You can't report credible allegations that the President of the United States is both a pedophile and a Russian agent, but you can report what an ex-husband of an ex First Lady does??? The media is corrupt and complicit and needs to be subjected to antitrust scrutiny.

He made a comment during the campaign at some point. Trump will deny it of course and then proceed to say something disgusting like he did after Reiner was murdered.
