The imperial wizard of a Missouri-based chapter of the KKK was found dead Saturday on the bank of the Big River, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office says.
Frank Ancona, a 51-year-old Leadwood, Missouri, resident and the self-proclaimed leader of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, was reported missing by his family on Friday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
An autopsy completed on Sunday found Ancona died of a gunshot wound to his head, the Park Hills Daily Journal reports.
Ancona was vocal about his membership in the KKK, speaking at rallies and distributing flyers around Missouri and Kansas. He also posted recruiting videos and videos showing cross burnings, on YouTube. He is pictured on his YouTube profile wearing a white hood and robe in front of a burning cross and other KKK members in his backyard.
His body was found by a family on a fishing trip on Saturday, Washington County Sheriff Zach Jacobsen said in a statement.
