We also want to bring you up to speed on this case that's involving Jill Biden's ex-husband.
William Stevenson, he's 77 years old, is now being held in custody in Delaware after being charged with first degree murder in the death of his wife, Linda Stevenson, who was found unresponsive at the Wilmington home late last year.
Police were called to the house just after 11 p.m.
following reports of a domestic dispute.
Despite lifesaving efforts, Linda was pronounced dead.
Authorities have not yet released an official cause of death and no motive has been made public.
William Stevenson was previously married to Dr. Jill Biden in the early 1970s when she was a college student.
They divorced in 1975 before she later married Joe Biden in 1977.
In the past, Stevenson had previously claimed that Jill Biden had an affair with Joe Biden, but representatives have strongly denied those claims.
As for what happens next, the case now moves into the pretrial phase.
Stevenson remains jailed after failing to post a $500,000 cash bail, and prosecutors and defense attorneys will begin filing motions and preparing for a potential trial.
First degree murder is the most serious charge under Delaware law and carries the possibility of life in prison if he is convicted.
Jill Biden has not commented publicly on the charges and future updates are now expected to come from the courtroom.
We have an update on the Brandon Banfield murder case.
He has been found guilty of murdering his wife.
A jury in Virginia has delivered the verdict in the case of the father accused of orchestrating his wife's murder and killing a stranger to cover it up.
Prosecutors said the plan was chilling.
Brendan Banfield, a former IRS law enforcement officer, lured an unsuspecting stranger to his home as a fall guy, then staged the killing to look like self-defense.
Jurors found him guilty on all major counts, including two counts of aggravated murder, using a firearm in a felony and child endangerment.
The prosecutors argued Banfield wanted a life with the family's Brazilian au pair with whom he was having an affair.
