Attacked anchor dies
It’s not a good weekend.
The KATV anchor who was attacked this week died Saturday evening.
Anne Pressly, 26, was a popular morning anchor in Little Rock, Arkansas. She was also known for a brief role as a TV commentator in Oliver Stone’s film “W,” out last week.
Pressly was beaten around the head, face and neck. She had been unable to communicate with her family or police while being kept sedated in the intensive care unit.
She was discovered Monday morning a half-hour before she was to appear on ABC affiliate KATV’s “Daybreak” program. Her mother went to her home after she didn’t answer her regular wake-up call.
The attack was random, part of a burglary, according to police. Her purse was missing. Little Rock police have yet to identify a suspect.
Pressly’s parents released a statement, saying they were “with her in her last moments.” They also asked for “the privacy we need at this very difficult time,” KATV reported.
Our deepest sympathies.
