Before his murder, Missouri Klan leader was steeped in cat piss
Frank Ancona, the professed leader of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, complained to a relative that he lived like an animal a few months before his his dead body was found next to a riverbank in eastern Missouri.
A feature story in The Riverfront Times in St. Louis depicts Ancona as a sad sack who lived in a small, crumbling house with dozens of cats and a wife regarded warily. "I just knew she was going to do something one of these days," a neighbor told Riverfront Times writer Doyle Murphy.
