Another day, another rabbit hole. It started with Frank Ancona, a 2017 true crime story. “@moklansman takkkk.com I am the Imperial Wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.” TAKKKK is, by all accounts, a minor player at the Granddragoncon. They get way more attention than they deserve, which might be the idea all along.
IW Ancona is not with us anymore. “Authorities have confirmed that the body of Leadwood resident Frank Ancona, 51, … was located earlier in the day outside Belgrade near the Big River by a family who were in that area to go fishing.” ”Ancona was last seen by his wife, Malissa Ancona, Wednesday morning … (Police) also questioned Malissa about a Facebook post she wrote looking for a roommate … Malissa stated to officers she made the Facebook post because Frank told her … when he got back he was filing for divorce. … figured she would need help to pay the rent, so she put an ad out looking for a roommate.” “Malissa Ancona, 44, and her son Paul Edward Jinkerson Jr., 24, were both charged with murder in the first degree, tampering with evidence and abandoning a corpse.”
This was in 2017. On April 19, 2019, “The wife … now publicly admits she killed her husband after he asked for a divorce. Malissa Ancona pleaded guilty in a St. Francois County courtroom to second-degree murder, tampering with evidence and abandonment of a corpse.” She had previously blamed her son for the murder. Paul Jinkerson was sentenced to 59 years for his role.
USA Today ran a picture of IW Ancona posing with Daryl Davis. Mr. Davis is a curious figure in the KKK ecosystem. A rotund Black man, Mr. Davis claims to befriend KKK members, and get them to change their ways. His TED talk has 12.5m views.
Daryl Davis, an incontinent bullshitter, told his story on the Joe Rogan show. I had the sense that something was off, but could not really put a finger on it. Then Mr. Davis said something that could easily debunked. “President Warren G. Harding was sworn into the ku klux klan in the green room of the White House.” “Whoa, what year was that?” “Whatever year he was president…”
The Davis/Ancona picture is from a 2013 story of IW Ancona distributing recruitment handbills in Iowa. It is not known when the two met, but it is apparent that IW Ancona did not renounce his klan activities. This did not prevent the Davis/Acona duo from making a video. “I consider Frank to be my friend.” “I consider Daryl to be my friend as well.” Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.
