Accused Wife of a Slain KKK Leader Changes Her Story, Again

In a letter from jail, the wife of a slain Missouri Ku Klux Klan leader says that she was the one who pulled the trigger, not her son.
Malissa Ancona and her son, Paul Edward Jinkerson Jr., face charges that include first-degree murder in the death of Frank Ancona, who called himself an “imperial wizard” of the Ku Klux Klan.
Last year, Ancona agreed to testify against her son after she originally told police that Jinkerson shot his stepfather after he asked her for a divorce. The body of the 51-year-old was found in February 2017 outside of Belgrade, MO.
