Anne Pressly, a news anchor for KATV (ABC 7 News) who anchored Channel 7’s Daybreak show, was assaulted in her home a few days ago and suffered serious wounds. A police spokesman initially said Pressly was “beaten and stabbed” and that her injuries were “life-threatening,” though later developments from an “inside source” hint that she was not stabbed, and that most injuries were caused by “blunt force trauma.”
“The initial police report said Pressly was unconscious when they arrived and that there were signs of broken bones, severe lacerations and possible internal injury. The officer who responded observed bleeding from her head. Further report indicates severe facial and head wounds. There’s speculation that she could have been asleep when attacked and unable to run or defend herself.”
