Intruder Beats, Stabs TV Anchorwoman
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- An intruder beat a popular TV anchorwoman in her home during a possible robbery and left her with life-threatening injuries, police said Monday.
Anne Pressly, 26, was found lying in her bed and bleeding from "severe wounds," police spokeswoman Cassandra Davis. She was found non-responsive and bleeding from the head, Davis said.
Pressly, who anchors the 5 a.m. newscast on ABC affiliate KATV, was found at about 4:30 a.m. by her mother. Her mother went to her home after she failed to answer her mother's wakeup call.
Davis says the attack may have come during a robbery, because Pressly's purse was missing. There were no suspects.
The last known contact with Pressly was between 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Sunday.
A hospital spokeswoman didn't return a call regarding her condition.
During the station's 11:30 a.m. newscast Monday, anchor Jason Pederson read a story about the attack and said Pressly was hospitalized.
"We would ask that you keep Anne in your thoughts and, especially, in your prayers," Pederson said.
