A Death in New Castle County New Castle County police responded to the Wilmington-area home of Bill and Linda Stevenson on the night of December 28, 2025, after Bill Stevenson called authorities shortly after 11 p.m. Officers found Linda Stevenson, 64, unresponsive in the living room.

The payment reportedly included $10,000 in cash and a $15,000 wire transfer. The information van der Sloot gave was false.
