Klan leader Ancona killed by son-in-law; wife dumped body in river
The lurid details behind the murder of Missouri Ku Klux Klan leader are beginning to emerge, and it looks like a domestic spat gone out of control.
[Frank Ancona] might have been shot in his sleep because he had told his wife he wanted a divorce, St. Francois County Prosecutor Jarrod Mahurin said Monday after filing murder charges.
“It may have been a marital issue,” he told a reporter. …
Ancona, 51, was shot in the head between 2 and 3 a.m. on Thursday.
Malissa Ann Ancona, 44, of Leadwood, Mo., and her son, Paul Edward Jinkerson Jr., 24, of Belgrade, Mo., were charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, tampering with physical evidence and abandonment of a corpse.
Jinkerson shot his sleeping stepfather in the bedroom of the victim’s home in Leadwood, sheriff’s Detective Matt Wampler wrote in an affidavit accompanying the charges. Ancona’s body was taken in Jinkerson’s vehicle to an area outside Belgrade, where it was dumped near the Big River, Wampler wrote.
Ancona called himself an imperial wizard with the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
A website for that group features an image of Ancona in a white hood and robe standing in front of a burning cross. His wife is shown next to him in another photo.
The Park Hills Daily Journal said Ancona was reported missing Friday, when his employer called Leadwood police to say that he failed to show up work Wednesday or Thursday. A neighbor said Ancona had a job delivering parts for a St. Louis auto supply company.

….a job delivering auto parts.
That’s all I have to say.

is it common in MO for the employer to call their PD when an employee doesn’t show up for 2 days?
or was it reasonable for them to suspect something like this?

Who thought a guy who just projected hate would go out with a bullet between his eyes?…..Ummmm anyone, everyone?

no no, he was shot between 2 and 3. That makes the shot just below the left eye and then riding upward into the skull filled with hate and filth. The wife and kid should be given a ticker tape (short one) parade.

I will give them the parade straight to the big house, I am pretty sure they share the same ideology as this dead dirtbag.

He wasn’t killed by his “son in law” as the title states.. he was killed by his step-son.

Hmmm… a threefer…

abandonment of a corpse must be a pretty serious charge in MO.
if they had nailed his dead butt to a wood cross and burned it in his front yard, they might could have escaped that charge.

If only those mighty Missouri rivers could talk. I bet there are enough answers to unsolved crimes in those river bottoms to keep a television series on the air for a decade or more!

STEPSON, not son-in-law
