LEADWOOD, Mo. -- A Missouri man who identifies himself as the "imperial wizard" of the Ku Klux Klan is missing, and police call the circumstances suspicious.
The Park Hills Daily Journal reported 51-year-old Frank Ancona of Leadwood has been missing since Wednesday. His car was found Friday evening in a remote area of Washington County in eastern Missouri.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Ancona has been quoted in past Post-Dispatch stories about his role in the KKK, and a website for the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan features a photo of him in a white hood and robe standing in front of a burning cross.
