KKK 'imperial wizard' found dead near Missouri river after employer reports him as missing

[bigheadfred]

 A Ku Klux Klan leader was reportedly found dead under suspicious circumstances near a rural river in Missouri after being reported missing by his employer.

A body discovered on Saturday was identified as Frank Ancona, the self-proclaimed “imperial wizard” of a KKK chapter near St. Louis. The 51-year-old was last seen at his Leadwood home on Wednesday morning, his wife told authorities.

Ancona's wife, Malissa Ancona, said he was called to work to make an out-of-state delivery. He packed a bag, took his guns and had not made contact with relatives since, according to the Daily Journal newspaper.

Ancona doesn't look like a 'Traditionalist' KKK name.

I see sweet Malissa as a prime suspect.

A safe inside the couple’s home was bashed in with a crowbar and its contents missing when an officer stopped by the home, the Journal reported.

Leadwood Police Chief William Dickey said a burglary was not suspected.

Cops also questioned Ancona's wife on a Facebook posting she made the day of his disappearance that sought a roommate for her husband.

She said Ancona was filing for divorce when he returned and would likely need help paying for rent, according to authorities.

I'd say she is their only suspect about now.  It could be incredibly poor timing on her part to make that Facebook post, but it doesn't look good.

Grief is a powerful thing. She had to break into the safe to get the money for the funeral.

Now here folks is a man who will not only set fire to a cross on your front lawn, but he'll also roast marshmallows on it!

Crime of passion.  Malissa was tired of him messing up all her white sheets.

Apparently, he took his show on the road to Virginia per this article above from 2014. So I guess he was a high profile leader.

He was peeved when she said,  "I don't have any clean white sheets left, just take a flowered one!"

I'm not sure if they should be charged with 'Committing a service to the community" or "Littering".
