The wife of a Missouri Ku Klux Klan leader admitted Friday to fatally shooting her husband. Ancona, who had identified himself as a KKK imperial wizard, had recently asked his wife for a divorce, according to officials and court records. Malissa Ancona initially reported her husband missing, and a family fishing in southeast Missouri found his body near a river days later. During Friday's court hearing, Frank Ancona's father, Frank Ancona Sr., told the judge that he was forced to identify his only son's body, and said his son had "no face left." Ancona Sr. said his son was killed because he was planning on leaving Malissa Ancona, whom he called a "terrible wife."
