LEADWOOD, Mo. (AP) — The wife and stepson of a Ku Klux Klan leader found fatally shot next to a river in eastern Missouri were charged in his death Monday.
Malissa Ann Ancona, 44, and her 24-year-old son, Paul Edward Jinkerson Jr., were charged with first-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and abandonment of a corpse in the death of Frank Ancona. Both are jailed without bond.

A probable cause statement alleges that Jinkerson shot his 51-year-old stepfather as he slept Thursday at his home in Leadwood, about 70 miles south of St. Louis. St. Francois County Sheriff's Department detective Matt Wampler wrote that after the shooting, Ancona's body was taken in Jinkerson's vehicle to an area near Belgrade, about 20 miles away.

3. So this is the "supreme race?"

4. On FB "Our thoughts and prayers are with the river."

6. Well, the area was contaminated.

So I can understand concern for the river.

9. She'll claim abuse

But that won't hold up in court. The 24 year old son shot him in his sleep.

13. But wasn't he a beloved racist?

He was grand. And a wizard!!

Hard to believe a bigoted, close minded individual would not be totally loved and respected by his family.

14. I wouldn't be surprised

if he abused her. But when you shoot someone in their sleep, that defense fizzles out.

17. Remember the "Burning Bed" case ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burning_Bed

Admittedly, the woman turned herself in and confessed immediately in that case, which probably made a difference.

19. In the BB she also had

a record of his abuse. The police had been there earlier that night and refused to arrest him. I think that case and the Tracy Thurman story helped bring about much needed change in domestic violence laws.

8. It'll be on Dateline Saturday Night Mystery soon enough

[mercuryblues]

10. It would have done them well

if they watched Dateline or forensic files. They didn't even make it 24 hour before being caught.

12. So true!

11. No good deed goes unpunished... (nt)
