KKK leader's wife admits to killing her husband

The wife of a deceased Ku Klux Klan leader in Missouri admitted in court Friday to his 2017 shooting death after initially saying two years ago that her son was the murderer.

Now, she says her son didn't help commit the homicide.

Malissa Ancona, 46, pleaded guilty in St. Francois County Circuit Court in Farmington, Missouri, to second-degree murder in the death of Frank Ancona Jr., the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported, as well as tampering with evidence and the abandonment of a corpse.

As part of her plea agreement with state prosecutors, she was sentenced to life in prison.
