Slain Missouri Ku Klux Klan leader's wife admits killing him

Source: ABC News

........

Malissa Ancona was sentenced to life in prison Friday under a deal in which she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, tampering with evidence and abandonment of a corpse in the February 2017 death of Frank Ancona Jr., the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Ancona, who had identified himself as a KKK imperial wizard, had recently asked his wife for a divorce, according to officials and court records.

Malissa Ancona initially reported her husband missing, and a family fishing in southeast Missouri found his body near a river days later. She later claimed her son, Paul Jinkerson Jr., shot him while he was sleeping.



.....

Ancona originally told police that her son shot her husband with a 9 mm handgun and agreed to testify against him last year. She reversed herself in a letter from jail, writing to Horn that she was "under the influence" and couldn't recall what happened when her husband was shot.

During Friday's court hearing, Frank Ancona's father, Frank Ancona Sr., told the judge that he was forced to identify his only son's body, and said his son had "no face left." Ancona Sr. said his son was killed because he was planning on leaving Malissa Ancona, whom he called a "terrible wife."

It was him that asked for the divorce. She was perfectly happy to live and support a racist POS.
And the fact that she was planning to testify that it was her son that did the deed is appalling. (Unless her reversal of that was some heroic effort to keep her son out of prison). I'm sure she had plenty of moments in their marriage, in front of their children, where she joined in making all kinds of violent racist views known.

Pissy Prejudice: Murdered KKK Leader Reeked Of Cat Pee Before His Death
Posted on March 10, 2017 - By Bossip Staff

God don’t like ugly!

Murdered KKK Leader Smelled Like Cat Pee For Years
New details about the KKK leader who was allegedly murdered by his wife and his stepson are emerging, and they’re the cat’s meow.

As previously reported Missouri Klan leader Frank Ancona was recently found dead after local law enforcement discovered a body near a bank of the Big River.

Ancona was a self-proclaimed “Imperial Wizard” of a KKK chapter near St. Louis who threatened “lethal force” against Black Lives Matter protesters following the death of Mike Brown.



. . .

According to The Times, the “Imperial Wizard” had a daily problem; he smelled like cat piss. So much so that it permeated from his clothes and his mustache.

KKK Wife Malissa Ancona Hoarded Cats, Popped Pills and, Police Say, Murdered the Local Imperial Wizard
By Doyle Murphy

Frank Ancona, the imperial wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, smelled like cat piss.

The stench clung to the 51-year-old's graying hair and mustache. It seeped into the fabric of his clothes and hung on him like a blanket. He was unhappy about it, but he did not seem to know what to do. He lived in a small, beat-looking house in the rural southeast Missouri town of Leadwood. The windows of the front porch had been pulled out and the wood frames wrapped in chicken wire — a project his wife had undertaken one evening after he headed off to his job as an overnight courier for a St. Louis-based shipping company.

. . .

Malissa Ancona, 44, seemed intent on turning their home into a giant kennel. It was well-known that the bleach blonde ran an off-the-books — some would say infamous — animal rescue. Dozens of cats and two dogs shared 1,000 square feet with the Klansman and his wife. They nested in piles of dirty clothes, pawed through open garbage and kicked litter across the floors. A neighbor estimates as many as 70 cats lived there during peak times.

. . .

Leadwood is the kind of place where people might not agree with the KKK, but they also don't get too worked up about a Klan leader living next door. The Anconas moved in five or six years ago. Frank's dad lived one house over to the south, and the local fire station was across the street. The younger Ancona seemed intent on settling in after years spent bouncing around Missouri and Illinois. The Leadwood house was a lease, but Frank had worked out a rent-to-own arrangement with the homeowners, relatives say. Shortly after moving in, he hung a red flag with the KKK's "blood drop" cross to the left of the front door and a replica of the Klan's historical flying dragon pennant to the right.

Not that I need to go down this rabbit hole but I am anyway lol

The Riverfront Times link has some fascinating detail...

"...Those who knew him say he cared deeply about crafting his public image and wanted everyone to know his name. He posted a video on his Klan website of him sparring on national television with MSNBC host Chris Hayes, and he told the New York Times, "We need to preserve the white race because we are the ones who keep civilization civilized."

Privately, he was literally living in shit.

"The house is so nasty it's not even fit for an animal to live in," he complained in an October message to his stepdaughter."

I would welcome my wife shooting me!

What miserable, screwed up people.

How do we allow people to descend to this state. With a life like his no wonder hate came so easy.

Too bad there is no political party who expressly spells out how they want to make poor peoples lives better.

His hate killed him in the end.

What sort of a waste of oxygen blows her husband away, chops off his face before dumping him in the river, then blames the whole thing on the guy who helped you clean up the mess?

than he was in her racist views and the only reason she murdered him was not because she had a change of heart but because he asked for a divorce.

die by hate. They are unable to induce kindness and sympathy because of their own actions.
