Revenge of the Bidens?: Troubling Questions Swirl Around the Murder Prosecution of Jill Biden’s Ex-Husband Inbox
July 28, 2026
Bill Stevenson was once married to Jill Biden. “No one f**ks with a Biden,” Joe Biden said on a hot mic on October 5, 2022.
During a recent phone call, one of Bill Stevenson’s longtime friends told me, “Delaware is not a state – it’s a corporation.”
Her point was that Delaware’s political, legal, and law-enforcement establishment is unusually close-knit, with influential figures often knowing one another personally, and that longstanding relationships carry significant weight. Joe Biden spent more than fifty years at the center of that political establishment.
The Murder Case
On the night of December 28, 2025, New Castle County police responded to the Wilmington-area home of Bill and Linda Stevenson after receiving a call from Bill shortly after 11:00 p.m. Officers found Linda Stevenson, 64, unresponsive in the living room. Despite life-saving efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
An initial autopsy reportedly found no evidence of foul play and could not even identify a cause of death. Authorities then ordered a second autopsy.
Following that second examination, a New Castle County grand jury indicted Bill Stevenson, 77, on February 2, 2026, charging him with first-degree murder. He was arrested without incident, plead not guilty, and initially held on $500,000 bail, which was quickly increased to $2 million cash bail.
To date, prosecutors have not publicly disclosed a motive, released autopsy reports, nor any evidence underlying the indictment. Stevenson, who lacked the financial resources to hire private counsel, is represented by the New Castle County Public Defender’s Office.
Bill Stevenson and the Bidens
Stevenson believes the roots of his current legal troubles stretch back more than fifty years.
In a series of media appearances beginning in 2023, most notably on Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Reports, Stevenson challenged the long-accepted public account of how Joe and Jill Biden met.
The Bidens had publicly said they were introduced on a blind date in 1975. Stevenson disputed that account, alleging that he and Jill had known Joe Biden and his first wife, Neilia, since 1972, when Biden was beginning his political career in Delaware.
Stevenson says he supported Biden’s first U.S. Senate campaign and contends that Joe Biden and Jill began an adulterous romantic relationship at some point while Stevenson and Jill were still married.
According to Stevenson, the oft-repeated blind-date story was created later by the Bidens to conceal the true timeline of the relationship.
Jill Biden’s Bitterness over the Divorce Settlement
In her recently released memoir, View from the East Wing, Jill Biden reflects on her marriage to Bill Stevenson and the couple’s divorce. She recalls seeking an ownership interest in Stevenson’s successful ‘Stone Balloon’ nightclub during the divorce proceedings, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
I listened to the audiobook version, narrated by Jill Biden herself. As she recounts the story, her voice becomes noticeably more emotional, even angry. In fact, Stevenson told Greg Kelly he believed his federal tax prosecution in the 1980s was due to his divorce dispute with Jill. He was prosecuted over approximately $8,200 in payroll taxes that were only one week overdue.
Extraordinary Secrecy Surrounding the Murder Case
As I began trying to verify the facts of Stevenson’s indictment, I sought access to the basic public records that are routinely released in homicide cases.
On June 1, 2026, at 10:33 a.m. EST, I submitted two Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by email to the New Castle County Police Department seeking records related to the case. My requests included the 911 recording, body-camera footage, investigative reports, crime scene records, autopsy reports, evidence logs, search warrants, official communications, and other records.
Just one hour and fourteen minutes later, at 11:47 a.m. EST, both requests were denied, claiming due to my not being a Delaware resident.
Undeterred, I asked a friend who lives in Wilmington, Delaware to submit identical FOIA requests. Twenty-four hours later, his requests were also denied, on the grounds that the case involved an “ongoing investigation,” even though Stevenson had already been indicted.
Next, I called New Castle County Police public information officer Christopher Williams. When I asked why no records could be released despite formal charges having been filed, he told me robotically, “That’s what the district attorney’s office told us to do.”
I then asked a contact at Judicial Watch to submit the same FOIA requests. Those requests were also denied. Judicial Watch appealed the decision to the Delaware Attorney General’s Office, but the appeal was denied as well.
To better understand the prosecution’s case, I repeatedly called Stevenson’s court-appointed public defender, Ross Flockerzie. I hoped to ask him what evidence or court filings could be released to the public? Despite multiple attempts, my calls were never returned, no response.
The $2 Million Cash Bail
Bill Stevenson’s cash bail raises another question. In Delaware there are 3 types of bail: Unsecured (just sign your name), Secured Bail (10% non-refundable fee), and Cash Bail (30% non-refundable fee).
A Delaware bail bondsman told me their courts typically assign high ‘Cash Bail’ when they intend to ensure a defendant remains incarcerated pending trial.
Stevenson is now 78 years old, has almost no financial resources, and does not present a flight risk. Despite this, Stevenson’s bail is $ 2 million ‘Cash Bail’. To be released pending trial, Stevenson would need either to write a $2 million check, or secure a $2 million bond, which would require paying a non-refundable fee of $600,000.
Conflict-of-Interest Concerns
In a series of Substack articles on the case, Greg Kelly raised the alarm about the interconnected political relationships and interests in Delaware.
Assisted by Garrett Ziegler, founder of the Marco Polo research group, Kelly noted that Stevenson’s initial court appearance was before Delaware Superior Court Commissioner Lynne Parker, who set his Cash Bail.
Parker is married to Charles Oberly III, a former Delaware Attorney General, former U.S. Attorney for Delaware, and a longtime political supporter, donor, and friend of Joe Biden.
Kelly also pointed to Stevenson’s court-appointed public defender, Ross Flockerzie. According to Kelly, Flockerzie lives with, or may be married to, Misty Seemans, the Chief of Staff to Delaware Governor Matt Meyer.
Meyer has publicly spoken of his close ties to Joe Biden, having worked on Biden’s 1988 presidential campaign, knew both Beau and Hunter Biden, and later hired Seemans after her work for longtime Biden adviser Ted Kaufman.
Power of Attorney Subpoenaed
While awaiting trial, Stevenson asked his lifelong friend, Michael Kalmer, to serve as his power of attorney and oversee his personal affairs during his incarceration.
According to Kalmer, he possesses no firsthand knowledge about the events surrounding Linda Stevenson’s death. Nevertheless, he was recently subpoenaed by the prosecution as a witness. This has raised concerns of possible intimidation tactics by the prosecution.
Bill Stevenson is today being held in a cell with two convicted criminals who are serving out their sentences. Unless something changes, he’ll be incarcerated through his trial in late January 2027, even if completely innocent.
Bill Stevenson, like every American, is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Yet the extraordinary secrecy surrounding this case, the repeated denial of access to public records, and the unusually restrictive bail are all legitimate reasons for greater transparency.
The political relationships to the Bidens surrounding the proceedings make it even more important that public records be released so that the prosecution’s evidence can be examined by the public.
If Delaware’s case is supported by strong evidence, that evidence should easily withstand public scrutiny before trial. Until that evidence is publicly aired, observers will continue to wonder whether the Stevenson prosecution reflects ordinary justice – or if it’s all just because ‘No one should F with a Biden’.
