I had sent my condolences to her Tv station KATV last week when I learned about the story. Just a brutal horrible story...
Anne Pressly Dies
We didn't see this one coming. We thought that Anne Pressly, who was brutally attacked in her home a few days ago, was going to recover form her injuries, but she sadly passed away earlier today. This crime's just been upped to a homicide. Pressly was only 26 years old. Our thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family.
News clipping from earlier this week...
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) _ A popular TV anchorwoman remained in critical condition Monday after she was beaten in her home, for reasons not yet known.
KATV anchor Anne Pressly, 26, was found about 4:30 a.m. Monday by her mother, who went to the house when her daughter didn't answer a wake-up call, Little Rock police spokeswoman Cassandra Davis said. Pressly was in her bed and was unresponsive. A police report notes that she was bleeding from the head.
Davis said Pressly sustained "severe wounds" and that she was in critical condition at an area hospital. Davis said Pressly was stabbed, but KATV - citing investigators - later reported that all of her injuries were from blunt force trauma to the head and upper body.
Over the weekend, Pressly appeared briefly in the movie W, which opened Friday.
Davis said investigators have not ruled out robbery but are talking to Pressly's co-workers to determine whether she "has had any problems." Davis said Pressly's purse was gone and that robbery was among the possible motives being explored. Davis would not discuss specifics of what the investigation revealed.
The last known contact with Pressly was between 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Sunday. Davis said Pressly's mother regularly gives her daughter a wake-up call and went to the home in Little Rock's Pulaski Heights neighborhood when Pressly didn't answer.
