KKK Imperial Wizard slain; wife and son arrested.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/slain-missouri-kkk-leaders-wife-held-suspicion-murder-45459182

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.

Jinkerson's attorney, Eric Barnhart, said he didn't believe his client was involved in the killing, but he declined to comment further. It wasn't immediately clear if Malissa Ancona had an attorney.

The subject was Daryl Davis an African American blues musician who has convinced a couple of dozen Klansmen to quit giving Davis their robes. Mr. Davis does this by dialogue with the Klan and other white supremacist groups. I don't remember how it was going with Ancona. A couple I remember as being entrenched was the head of a skin head group and Pastor

Ancona, who said he served as the imperial wizard for a modern strain of the Ku Klux Klan that calls itself the “American Traditionalist Knights” was found dead Saturday.(Photo: Daryl Davis, GANNETT)
