A Bitter Past & A Darker Present: Police Launch ‘Death Investigation’ After Jill Biden’s Ex-Husband’s Wife Found Dead

The “Domestic Dispute” That Ended in Tragedy

For years, Bill Stevenson has made headlines for his vocal attacks on his ex-wife, former First Lady Jill Biden, and her husband, Joe Biden. But this week, the spotlight on the 77-year-old Trump supporter has turned from political to personal—and deeply grim.

On the night of December 28, 2025, police were called to the Stevensons’ Wilmington, Delaware, home following a reported “domestic dispute.” Upon arrival at approximately 11:16 p.m., officers found Bill’s wife of 40 years, Linda Stevenson, 64, unresponsive in the living room.

Despite immediate life-saving efforts by first responders, Linda was pronounced deceased at the scene. While 911 audio suggests the cause may have been cardiac arrest, the circumstances surrounding the call have left the family—and the community—reeling.

“A Murder Investigation”: Conflicting Stories Emerge

While the New Castle County Police have officially categorized the case as a “death investigation,” pending autopsy results from the Delaware Division of Forensic Science, Linda’s daughter is telling a much more chilling story.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Christina Vettori, 45, didn’t mince words about her mother’s sudden passing:

“It’s still a murder investigation,” Vettori stated, before abruptly ending the call.

The police have yet to file any charges, but the contrast between the official “death investigation” and the daughter’s “murder” allegation has sent shockwaves through the same Delaware circles where the Bidens and Stevensons have clashed for fifty years.

The Messy History: Affairs, “Crime Families,” and Grudges

To understand the weight of this investigation, one has to look back at the bitter origins of the Biden-Stevenson feud. Jill and Bill were married from 1970 to 1975, but their split was anything but amicable.

Bill Stevenson has spent decades claiming that Jill and Joe Biden began their romance as an illicit affair while he and Jill were still married—a claim the Bidens have consistently denied. Over the years, Bill’s rhetoric has only grown more “incandescent,” as he frequently appeared on cable news to label Joe Biden a “bad person” and the “better liar than Trump.”

Just last year, Bill blasted Jill for her “transformation” into a “completely different woman,” accusing her of “driving” the President to stay in the race despite his “cognitive decline.”

The Ultimate Irony

There is a staggering irony in Bill Stevenson’s current predicament. For years, he framed himself as the “honest” victim of a “charming politician” (Joe Biden) who “stole” his wife and his stories. Now, the man who called the Bidens a “crime family” and Joe a “bad person” finds his own home being cordoned off by yellow tape following a domestic violence call.

As detectives from the Criminal Investigations Unit wait for the autopsy results, the “messy history” of Delaware’s most famous exes has moved from the gossip columns to the police blotter.
