No legal action has been taken against Bill at this time. The investigation is currently being overseen by the Criminal Investigations Unit of the New Castle County Police Department.
Jill Biden and Stevenson were married for five years. Speaking of the failed marriage, Jill Biden's biographer Julie Pace reportedly said:
"She had these expectations of sort of what that marriage was going to be, and the marriage did not live up to those expectations. She was incredibly young and probably a bit naive about what life was going to look like, and it stings her. It really stings her, and it makes her question quite a bit."
She added:
"She's very good at compartmentalizing. I think that's another moment where she did that. She kind of compartmentalizes. 'This was a failure, and I'm really pretty devastated about it, but I'm going to compartmentalize that, and I'm going to move on, and I'm going to start building out my career.'"
Bill is reportedly cooperating with police at this time. However, his daughter, Christina Vettori, has denied talking to him, according to a statement reported by the Daily Mail:
"It’s still a murder investigation. I would not like to talk at this time."
