Frank Ancona, the outspoken imperial wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, was found shot to death Saturday near Belgrade, Mo.
The body of the 51-year-old Leadwood, Mo., resident was discovered near the Big River by a family fishing in the area, according to Washington County Sheriff Zach Jacobsen in southeast Missouri.
Washington County coroner Brian DeClue told The Kansas City Star that Ancona died of a gunshot wound to the head.
It was not self inflicted, he said. This is now a homicide investigation.

The seamstress for the Klan now says she's the shooter.
In a letter to the judge in her murder case, 46-year-old Malissa Ancona claims she is the one who shot her husband, a rural Missouri Ku Klux Klan leader. Ancona had originally tried to pin the killing of Frank Ancona on her 24-year-old son, Paul Jinkerson Jr., but is now telling a different story.
"My son is innocent," Malissa Ancona wrote in a Sept. 28 letter to Judge Wendy Wexler Horn, adding, "I want to let the court know that he did not pull the trigger, (I Did)."
The jailed mom included the confession toward the end of a handwritten note, in which she complains about her public defender, pleads for medications and says she was deemed permanently mentally ill in 2003 by the state."

(20,877 posts)Malissa Ancona, a seamstress who specialized in childrens tutus, had supported her husbands activities in the Klan, even sewing robes and patches for KKK members. But the relationship soured over the years.
In the letter she wrote to the judge in September, Ancona wrote that she was under the influence when she talked to detectives and couldnt remember what happened the night her husband died, according to the Post-Dispatch.
The next hearing in the case against Ancona is set for April 19, 2019, and her son goes on trial next May, the Post-Dispatch reported.

(81,543 posts)Weve got property in four or five locations here in Missouri and a few in Tennessee and Virginia, Florida, he told The Star.
He called the event a Christian ceremony.
The cross is wrapped with a few layers of burlap that is soaked in what we call Klansmens cologne, he said. Its basically a mixture of kerosene and diesel. .. Its kind of a spiritual thing. Its almost like a revival at a church. You kind of come away feeling on fire for Christ and you want to go out and spread the word.
Burn in hell, scumbag.
