A morning anchorwoman for KATV-TV in Little Rock Arkansas was found in her home early Monday morning suffering from life threatening injuries apparently caused by someone beating her brutally.
Anne Pressly, 26, was found by her mother around 4:30 am lying on her bed and bleeding from severe injuries, according to the police.
“We do believe she was beaten,†Sgt. Cassandra Davis of the Little Rock police department told FOXNews.com. Davis said the injuries were to the upper body and included stab wounds. She was taken to St.Vincent’s Infirmary Medical Center and they reported that Pressly has been listed in critical condition said Davis.
It is possible that the motive for the beating was for robbery since her purse is missing but Davis said that the police haven’t been able to find any force of entry so far into the home in Little Rock. “It’s not a neighborhood known for any violent crime,†Davis said.
At this time there are no current suspects but detectives are questioning neighbors, friends and co-workers of Pressly’s.
Pressly’s mother usually gives her daughter a wake up call in the mornings. She didn’t get an answer so she went to the address on Club Road and that is when she found her daughter. Pressly’s dogs were missing but they have been found.
Pressly had a role in Oliver Stone’s new movie “W†and she also played a sorority girl on the soap opera “As The World Turnsâ€. She won her role on “W†when she went to Shreveport, La. where the movie was filmed for a story on the movie. She plays a conservative who speaks favorably of President Bush’s “Mission Accomplished†speech.
I hope Anne Pressly has a speedy recovery from this attack. I will say a prayer for her.

What club was she at the night before?
Sean she lives on Club road, not that she went to a club.
Read carefully.
Rich, read carefully. No signs of forced entry, shes good looking, where was she the night before? Hence my question, what club was she at?
Sean,
Listen to yourself you state she is “good looking” does that suggest she was at a club the night before because she is good looking?
If She was not good looking you would not assume she went clubing the night before?
This is an insult to ugly women who go clubing as well.
to make an assumption she is good looking therefore she must have been clubbing is indeed an insult…its usually a disgruntled boyfriend or jealous person… so sad.. I hope she survives…
I agree that may sound bad, however it does make sense. Did she have clothes on? Remember she was found in bed. No signs of forced entry. So she knew the person, well enough to be in her bedroom. That’s not rocket science. Stop letting the political correct BS get in the way and go with the most likely, or most probable. Trace her movements from the night before.
This lovely lady gets up at 4.30 am in order to be at work in time. In her type of job, bet she goes to bed be around 9 pm in order to look great/rested on TV the next day.
No time for clubbing when she has to work the next day IMO.
Ahh Im sorry McAllister but thats the mose ASSININE comment Ive ever read on here and I have been bloggin on this site for like 3mos now…thats idiotic…Im pretty does that mean ive been out at the bars and clubs!!! Im not even gonna go any further in this discussion cus that just is…
Sean, most unfortunately many female victims of a crime committed in their own bedroom (with or without clothes on) were attacked by perfect strangers thru no fault of their own.
The first thing I thought of was a stalker. Happens a lot with people on TV and in movies.
She might have been followed home and when she put her key in the door the man pushed in after her.
The second thing I thought of was:
The doorbell rings. She answers the door. Someone who she may or may not be acquainted with pushes his way in and shoves her back to the bedroom. (That happened to a friend of mine) That’s why I’m scared to pieces to answer the door to strangers. And there are lots these days – damn door to door solicitations for everything from magazines to petitions to political crap.
So those are two ways a stranger can get into a woman’s bedroom without breaking in.
If she was out the night before maybe someone “escorted” or followed her home and pushed their way in.
Another thing I thought of was an acquaintance/friend or professional acquaintance whom she trusted enough to have in her home but who attacked her. That also happened to a friend of mine.
Or it could have been a date that went really bad. Still not her fault. And that happened to a friend of mine.
The problem, Sean, with what you are suggesting is the way you that you are suggesting it SOUNDS like you are placing blame on her.
Of course the police are going to investigate her whereabouts the evening before. But jumping to the thought that she was out at a club, that it had to be someone she invited in makes it sound like it was her fault and/or someone she knew. Is that what you meant?
