How terribly sad. I almost cried when I read the news. So much promise to end so tragically.
I hope they catch whom ever did this and punish him or her
to the extent of the law.

My deepest sympathies to her family

I am very sad to hear this news. My sympathy to her family and friends.

Where are we that the life of a human being has so little value? Something has to change.

My condolences to Ann's friends and family.

This has to chill the blood of every news anchor in the country. I've heard tham many of them have stalkers. Who knows what's in the mind of a psychopath?

So sad. I really had thought she might make it.
I saw on a cable show a neighbor said the police had asked his wife about a baseball bat. I guess Anne really didn't have a chance. I hope they catch this monster.

Too horrible to be true, yet it is.

I am stunned, absolutely stunned. So very sad. There is really nothing more to say.

I have cried many tears for this young beautiful woman whom I have never met but seem to know her because I see her on my local news everyday. She was so very talented and my heart aches so bad for her family my thoughts and prayers are with the Pressly family at their time of loss. May God be with them and help them continue on with their loss and remember all the good that their fine young family member Anne has done in her short but beautiful life. Anne has touched the lives of many and is now in a better place. Rest in Peace Anne you will be missed dearly!

According to the Trib this AM, Anne's credit card was used at a nearby gas station.

I am crying as I post this. I feel so sorry for Ann's family. Ann is in a better place now, but for the people she left behind, a much darker place. I have never met Ann, however, I have a beautiful sister her age with the same big smile that lights up any room. I am so sorry for your loss. Suzy, Arlington, VA

I could not believe it - I thought she was going to recover from all accounts I read. This is just heartbreaking. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

Colleen, men commit 95% of all physical violence. It is possible that the attacker was female, but highly unlikely. Only when discussing violence inflicted onto females will people carefully imply that it might not be a man "this time".

The news reported no sign of forced entry, only that her purse was taken. It is strange that she had enough energy to crawl into bed by herself, but didn't have enough strength to dial 911.

That's so sad. :( I feel awful for her and her family. I hope they find the person soon and she gets the justice she deserves. RIP Ms Pressly! She's the same age as me and I'm sure just starting her career so sad.

It's difficult to fathom something to this extent that one would never imagine a person could do to someone. It's these types of cowardly, despicable, and inhumane acts that anger people and what's worse is that almost every time, the offender has little or no remorse. It's angering! The world needs more of Anne Pressly and less of these no-good, useless thugs that choose to kill instead of get a f**in job!

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of this beautiful woman.

M Andrea, how do you know men commit 95% of violent acts. Have you done a study on this. I am sure you have not since the actual # is close to 60%. Second, maybe she didnt crawl into bed, she may have been put there...I find it strange that you would question her being able to do that but not dial 911...

In the memory of Anne Pressly

A profound sadness has blanketed our home

As Anne Pressly has sadly and untimely passed on.

My children and I have shed many tears

But Anne knows no sadness and now knows no fears

Her mother needs to know how hard we have prayed

Finding Anne on that horrible day

But that kind face and huge smile are the same as they were.

As Jesus has held her and healed her for sure.

Einstein had a theory that we never really die

Cause energy never closes and this you can rely

The energy of Anne left Little Rock with a bang

And as she reached heaven, angels crowded and sang

They cried out in joy and said who is she

What a wonderful girl, what an angel she'll be

The angels looked around thinking if something was wrong

Then they smiled and told others and broke out in song.

Anne had brightened up heaven somehow even more.

No other had done this, they knew this for sure.

But Arkansas knows and were not surprised.

Anne lit up our homes like recieving a prize

To her friends at channel seven don't think that she's gone.

Her spirit is there just where it belongs.

Pam, Melinda, and Beth she loved you the same

And many more people, I don't know by name.

So hold your heads up, I'm praying each day

Remember the fun times and things she would say

Anne's now reporting the news that's in heaven

But at the end she smiles and says this is from Channel seven

So don't be surprised if you receive a new story

The tape will be stamped from her in glory.

If possible please send this to Anne Pressly's mother.

Thank You

The way Anne was beaten in the head, breaking every bone in her face, sounds like it was from someone jealous of her beauty. This could have been done by a jealous woman.

Its sooo very sad that this world has people who do so many senseless crimes on one another. why are we becomming a society of hate- fullness - when a human life means notting to those who take it so freely and when facing justice cry out when it's there turn to pay the price with there own life. I feel the death penalty should not be sought life in prison is what they should get and pay back a judgement to the family of the victim for the rest of there life and the money earn in-prison hard labor should pay for there up-keep not the tax-payers of that state. so if they have to live on a dollar or 50-cents a day so be it.
