Here's the thing though...wasn't she brutally beat about the face (sorry to be so blunt)? It reeks of a personal attack of some kind. Normally botched simple robberies wouldn't take on such a brutal twist. A robber just wants to get out. And "to the face and head" usually means some kind of personal feelings about the attack. I just hope the cops catch this guy. He's a danger to everyone.

My heart goes out to Anne's family.

Thanks, Josie -- didn't I pretty much say these things above?

"The seemingly personal nature of the attack might make some who examine criminal psychology wonder if an ex-lover committed the crime."

And yes -- someone who would commit a crime like this will do anything. That's scary as hell.

I am struggling to understand this.... this has a political spin how? She was beaten to death because she had a tiny part in a movie playing Ann Coulter? (Unless Ann Coulter is the perpetrator-- now there's a rumour to contend with- what kind of motive would that be for MURDER?) Is the political aspect from someone trying to suggest that she was killed by an Obama supporter, since their Ashley Todd hopes were so cruelly dashed? How absurd.

My gut feeling on this is that we will find in time that it primarily is a murder, and that the robbery aspects were largely a red herring. So much rage, it would be hard to imagine that this was random. There was a report that Pressly's credit card was used shortly after the attack-- do they have security camera footage, I wonder. Or will it turn out that a legit sale (made by Ann herself) was posted later?

True Crime Report is so lucky to have you. Your reporting and insights are always right on. Thank you for another excellent post.

This was a personal, hate, jealousy crime, and its connected to people she worked with and or met in her news coverage.

I believe the credit card use was simply to cause this murder to appear to be robbery.

This information comes to me as a Psychic and there could be more coming, as this comes to me in bits and pieces.

I would look to a coworker or someone she met in her news coverage whose advances she spurned and with the movie role and future possibilities he knew she might be getting too big for her britches and so he went after her.

The news articles don't mention whether she was sexually assaulted or not.This is a key factor in determing the true nature of the crime and the potential make-up of the perpetrator.

NOTE FROM STEVE: I totally agree, Ken. Apparently there were some articles that said that, but I never saw them. May have just been hinted at. But you're absolutely right.

I seen after nancy grace a reporter said, there have been 3 other murders of morning news woman like this one. Same MO
and Melissa seimon seems very upset today on the air

what is up with this???

Sorry Steve. I know I was reiterating what you had stated in previous posts. This one seemed to deal more with the fact that polictics wasn't an issue and that the police are still following the 'simple burglar' theory. I agree with you in that it doesn't ring that 'simple' to me.

BTW - complete TCR addict now. It's great what you are doing here.

I wonder if that male neighbor that gave an interview along with being on two shows, the one that said she never had a male visitor has been interrogated, its a gut feeling,how can you know someone has never had a male visitor even if it is your next door neighbor? The dogs didnt make noise, there was no forced entry, it was a crime of passion.

NOTE FROM STEVE: Typically, police would check people like him out immediately. I'd imagine he's been questioned a good deal and is probably not under suspicion.

Steve, I hope you are right, it's just he seems to be relishing in the limelight, today even with Rick Sanchez on CNN. Perhaps since it is so soon, they as they should, not narrow in yet, but still maintains a next door familiar neighbor on the radar. Steve this is a great resource of ideas, thanx for the opportunity.

I feel that if this crime was committed by a male that the calls from Anne's parents stopped this horrible person from perhaps finishing what he had started out to do, like Ken was eluding to. Even though that lovely person didn't make it past Saturday, at least she didn't have to suffer more sickness bestowed on her. I also agree that jealousy is the motive here, but not necessarily by someone that knew her very well.

FYI...bump keys can be used in any regular lock, so that could be why there wasn't evidence of forced entry.

Prayers to the family.

You know, those skinheads who were just arrested for plotting to assassinate Obama planned to kill many more people. Mostly minorities, but when I read about those guys I had to wonder... and check this out, if you read the affidavit to arrest them at The Smoking Gun, you see that one of the guys drove from West Tn to Arkansas the same night Anne Pressly was killed to pick the other one up. I looked at the route in Google maps, and they could have easily swung down to Little Rock that night and still made it back early the next day. Something to think about.

Having once lived near the area where the murder took place, I can tell you that the neighborhood is mostly populated by older retired couples. It is basically a one-way in and one-way out area. Someone could have followed Pressly from the party she attended earlier in the evening, and staked out her house until it was safe to try to enter. The person or persons may have waited and watched until Pressly let her dogs out. (The dogs were found roaming the neighborhood later that same morning by neighbors.) If, in fact, she did let her dogs out, and had gone back to wait inside her house, the perpetrator could have entered finding the front door unlocked.

It sounds like she was beaten with a baseball bat or similar object. It seems odd that she was beaten so severely for just a robbery/burglary. Burglars usually don't attempt to go into any inhabited areas, and they usually leave if they realize someone's home.

There are many homes in this area where people with a lot more money live and would be easier prey than Pressly. They are predominately retired and elderly. Perhaps this was an ex-boyfriend, or someone she might have met while on the movie set in Louisana. It has the earmarks of a obsessed lover or jealous co-worker.

The Little Rock Police Chief has stated that they ahve contacted the FBI, U.S. Marshall's Office, and the Secret Service. This seems to be an extreme use of resource for just a random robbery. There is something more here than mets the eye.

Also, it was concluded that the videos taken from the gas station where her credit card was used, were too blurred to use. Earlier in the week, an attendant at the station remarked that they have nine active cameras. Nine cameras that cannot produce one clear picture? Hmmm.

As far fetched as it sounds, I wouldn't rule out a mob like hit. Modus operandi being a retaliation for a "promise" not fulfilled on Pressly's part. I know, it's a stretch, but stranger things have happened.

I think this is a crime of passion. Someone mentioned maybe a person on the set of W in Louisana. That may be a goo clue. Maybe she met someone there and exchange numbers or emails, then when this person realize she did not want a relationship, he went crazy.
Just last week in LR, a woman ex-boyfriend beat her in the face, also rupture her eye. This young woman is in the hospital in critical, but stable condition. She was able to make it to a neighbor for help. This goes to say that it may be very personal. I think it could be a neighbor, someone she worked with as well. All I can say is that the women here in LR are buying guns left and right, so whomever better beware!

I don't think this crime was a robbery. It was a nice neighborhood, but not an elite one. She had a car in the carport clearly visible from the street & dogs at home. I would think it would be easier to try for someone not at home if your motive was just robbery. Some friends of mine who live only blocks away said that many of the injuries she sustained have not been reported on the news - that it was MUCH worse than reported & apparently there was a gruesome sexual assault as well. I'm frustrated at what the police haven't mentioned - was there a boyfriend, a window cracked open, threatening emails, DNA? I realize they have to do their work, but this crime scares the hell out of me & they haven't done much to reassure me of their protection at present. This person knew how to kill - I don't think it was their first time. And I don't think it will be the last if we don't find him soon.

I have followed this case from the get-go. As a true crime aficionado,this case is very similar to all of the others where "overkill" occurred. The brutaility of this attack shows this was personal and intended to kill Anne Pressley. It was no random robbery gone bad. I agree with the psychic. This is a clear-cut case of jealousy and hate for the victim. The person responsible is a co-worker or someone whom she met during her career while covering the news. This person was extremely jealous of her and probably felt rejected in some form or another. Professionally, she was competition to her attacker; personally, she had rejected him. In any event, I am not a psychic, but this is no random robbery. Nothing else was taken from her home. The person who killed Anne Pressly possibly followed her tracks after she left work. If the killer wanted her ATM card, he would have possibly hi-jacked her on the way home, but he made this personal and was bold enough to follow her home, because he wanted to kill her, not rob her. I would hope that the Little Rock Police Dept would study this case closer, and hopefully work with an experienced criminal profiler before this case goes cold. There is no reason why her killer should get away. This person either worked with Anne Pressly or had routine contact with her. It was defintely a personal attack. Someone grew jealous, tired, and felt inferior to someone they could either not have or be.

I am agreeing 100% with these comments below--its a compilation of all. i believe it was someone who she was dating or didn't want to date and they were frustrated, jealous and insecure. I read that she was raped. It is someone she knows. Either a neighbor, ex boyfriend or aquaintance (someone who had been over to her home before) because otherwise her dogs would've barked. Bingo!
The investigators can't figure that out? LAME'o's! it's quite simple actually. and

In my opinion Anne's killer is a disorganized killer.
Killer gained entry thru the back door or doggie door.
Attacked Anne in bed and sexually assaulted her. The more she resisted the harder the killer hit her. Then he robbed her and left thru the back door. We know he used her credit card to purchase gas that morning. So the killer is stupid and has NO money. Blunt force trauma to the head is consistent with disorganized killers. Disorganized killers usually leave the body where the confrontation took place in plain view. The killer is most likely afro american between the ages of 18 & 25. Unemployed and lives near the crime scene or with in a few miles of the crime scene. The killer will have a criminal record for burglary, theft and possibly assault. Obviously his dna is not in any computer banks (CODIS). Disorganized killers leave a lot of evidence. There average to below average in intelligence and are usually high school drop outs. They like to roam at night and sleep during the day. This killer is NO staulker and it appears to me to be a random act violence.

Recently, the mother and father took the national media on a tour of Pressly's home. According to Pressly's mother, when her daughter didn't answer the phone that morning, she drove to her house. She found the front porch light on. The mother stated that she went to (knocked on?) the front door, but got no answer. I don't remember if the mother said she let herself in with a key or whether the front door was unlocked. Upon entering the house, she found nothing inside that appeared to be disturbed. No signs of violence or resistance until she went into Pressly's bedroom where she discovered her unconscious daughter.

I have to disagree with the poster who’s of the opinion that this was a "random act of violence." Also, there has never been any mention of sexual assault. There may have been, but neither her parents nor the authorities have ever alluded to that possibility. The parents seemed completely dumbfounded as to why someone would attack their daughter. Pressly's father reported that his daughter's left hand was broken. A person who's not asleep or not consciously unaware of impending harm, would have done more to defend themselves. Suffered more injuries to their hands and forearms. Sounds to me like an automatic defensive movement one would make just prior to being knocked unconscious, i.e., being attacked while asleep, or attacked while in a state of semi-consciousness due to intoxication.

During the parent's tour of Pressly's home, they entered the bedroom which was very small. The bed had been removed, but one could tell that the room was too small to move around in without running into the furniture or bumping into the walls at least. What I am saying here is: I believe the person knew their way around inside the home, or that the lights were on inside the house. I don't recall if Pressly's mother stated whether or not she found the lights on inside the bedroom.

Pressly's mother mentioned that the side gate to the fenced-in backyard was unlatched. Closed, but unlatched. She remarked that it was "strange." Knowing that the two dogs (Cocker Spaniels) were loose, might mean that Pressly had put them in the backyard for whatever reason and didn't let them back inside the house before she was attacked. Someone may have let them out, but only closed the gate afterward and did not latch it. If the dogs were out, you wouldn't need to latch the gate.

Pressly may have known her attacker. She may have been waiting up for him/her. And, put the dogs outside because they were acting strangely toward the visitor. I don’t believe the attacker was necessarily young, dumb, black, or a random attacker. He/she knew Pressly and had “done their homework” watching/knowing her house and personal habits prior to the attack.

A "professional" or "practicing" criminal would know that he/she could use a stolen credit card once without leaving a trail of clues. The credit card (Most likely a bank debit card. No pin number required to pump gas.) apparently has never been used since. An unintelligent criminal would have used the card multiple times before it was cancelled by the credit card company due to theft. Thus leaving a trail for police to follow. It is possible that a trail does exist, but Police are not divulging any info in regards to this possibility.

I still would not rule out a “revenge” hit. Pressly could have been having an affair with a prominent individual, and the spouse of that individual discovered the on going activity, and decided to put an end to it. Thus, he/she could have hired someone to do the dirty work. I don’t believe that the attacker intended to kill Pressly, just make a mess of her appearances. An act of extreme jealously could be the motive.

According to John Walsh America's Most Wanted Anne was sexually assaulted and brutally beaten (blunt force trauma to head). I've been performing criminal profiles for over 10 years I'm also a former Dept of Army Criminal Investigator/Texas Peace Officer. I've been involved in many high profile murder cases. The following are a few high profile murder cases I have profiled for crime writers.
The Suffolk Strangler by Steve Huff.
A KNOXVILLE MYSTERY by Steve Huff part 3.
The Nona Dirksmeyer Murder by Scarlet Simms the Russellville Courier.
PERSON OF INTEREST NOT INTERESTED by Breck Porter Galveston Police News.
I have seen these type of cases before and I can tell you Anne's killer is consistent with a disorganized killer.
The dogs were let out of the back yard in my opinion by the killer.
The killer made entry thru the back door or doggie door.
He blitz attacked Anne while she was in bed. She raised her hand in an attempt to protect herself (defensive wounds to left hand). Here's what we know about disorganized killer and I quote. The crime scene of a disorganized offender is described as reflecting an overall sense of disorder and suggest little, if any preplaning of the murder. He too is difficult to catch. He does not develope a through-out plan of action. There is minimal use of restraints because the victim is usually rendered unconcious moments after the encounter. The disarray present at the crime scene may include evidence such as blood, semen, and the murder weapon. In my opinion the killer used his fist to beat Anne unconcious and later resulted in her death. The more Anne resisted the more her killer beat her until she stopped resisting. Disorganized offenders usually leave the victims body in plain view. It's my opinion police have dna evidence such as semen, possibly epithilia (skin cells) located under Anne's finger nails and trace evidence such as hair & fiber. If police have this type of evidence it's obvious our killer is not in any dna data bank (ref:CODIS). In my opinion Anne's killer is consistent with a disorganized killer and robbery/sexual assault is the motive. It's my opinion the killer is afro american and young, probably 18 to 26 years old.
Let's not forget other items besides Anne's purse was stolen. I read where a bracelet was missing but that has not been confirmed. John Walsh stated on Good Morning L A that Anne was raped and that his program would be airing her profile Saturday night. LRPD has been keeping that information very close to there vest but John Walsh let it slip out. Annonymous reporter you can google/yahoo search my above profiles and compare them for accuracy since all have been arrested since I profiled the casses. I know a disorganized crime scene when I see one or read about it.
Again it's my opinion Anne's murder was a random act of violence. Let's not forget Anne lived for 6 days after her brutal attack. The killer is young, dumb and disorganized.
I read from another web site that video survelliance cameras at the Shell Mart showed poor quality video of a man with a hood over his head useing Anne's credit card. That information has not been released by LRPD and I cannot not confirm it but we know they have some kind of video from the Shell Mart. May God bless Anne's soul.

Glenn,
You stated that the killer may live in the area. There are no blacks in that area at all! There have been rumors around town about this. In the news today, several people at the hospital she was taken to was fired for looking at her medical records. According to DNA, it is a white male, not black. It's personal and the killer took items to hold on to. Also, the credit card was probably used to throw the officers off. I understand you are a profiler, but you guys have been incorrect before. Remember everyone thought the DC snipers were white, but in fact they were black.

According to current news reports, personnel, from the hospital where Anne Pressly was taken after her physical attack, have been fired for unauthorized viewing of her medical records. I wonder if any of these people sold information to America's Most Wanted. I have visited the AMW web site and didn't find any reports of sexual assault on Pressly. However, I don't take AMW as gospel on criminal cases. After all, John Walsh is in the business of selling his television program. The more sensational a case, the more people who will watch it on television. I didn't see the airing, but I hardly think that John Walsh is stupid enough to say that Pressly was raped without evidence or testimony. Whether she was or not, why would he jeopardize the case? John Walsh has FBI connections and may very well be on their payroll. I don't understand why he would leak information of that nature, and risk a lawsuit from the parents or recriminations from the FBI. But, I could be wrong.

Mr. Glenn Owen, I did Google your name and looked at the case of Johnia Berry which you profiled. Interesting that you stated almost exactly the same thing about Pressly's case as you did about Johnia Berry. Only difference is that you claimed the perpetrator was white in Berry's case; otherwise, it was nearly identical. Also, it's possible, on some sites, to update your posts to make your statements more accurate. I am not saying you did, I am just saying it happens. I understand that statistics usually point to a general profile for criminals. You may have experience in profiling criminals, but you know as well as I do, that every case is different and has its own signature. In this case, I agree to disagree with you.

I, also, have to disagree that Pressly was beaten with fists. Medical authorities stated that nearly every bone in her face was broken. I originally envisioned that an aluminum baseball bat was used, but I now think that a “blackjack” could have been the weapon of choice. Easy to carry and conceal in the back pants pocket. But, fists? Hmmm, I don’t think so. Disorganized? No, to that also. The perpetrator was meticulous in his/her actions once inside Pressly’s house. Did someone from the neighborhood do this? Not likely. Plus, it is not a racially or economically mixed neighborhood to any degree. So, again no. Police went on a search of the possible streets that the perpetrator took on his/her way out of town. They seemed to conclude that he/she took the easiest and shortest way out. Again, I know the neighborhood where this crime took place. You better know your way around; otherwise, you might find yourself driving down a cul-de-sac or a dead-end, and wasting get-away time.

Professional criminals, practicing criminals, know that cameras are located nearly everywhere they go. They will wear hooded jackets, hats, pantyhose over the head, or some type of disguise if they are going to commit a crime in a public place. Statistics may very well show that the perpetrators are young, dumb, black, and poor. Some criminals probably fit that description. But, a cunning individual might know that, and leave clues just to reflect those traits and attempt to throw the authorities off their trail. And, law enforcement personnel, who believe themselves above the law, might also be likely candidates in this case.

Anonymous Reporter please read my profile on the Nona Dirksmeyer case. Go to Russellville Courier click on the archives go to page 5 thru 7. You will see several articles about me (Texas Investigator looks closely at Dirksmeyer murder)and my profile of Nona's killer. Remember Kevin Jones was arrested and found not guilty in a criminal court of law.
My profile never matched Kevin Jones but it matches the suspect they have under arrest now. I profile organized and disorganized. Sometimes I profile a cross between organized/disorganized which means the offender shows characteristics of both organized/disorganized. In Johnia's case the profile was disorganized and it matched the killer when he was arrested 3 years later. In Nona's case I profiled a cross between organized/disorganized and it matches the new suspect in Nona's case. In the Suffolk Strangler case I profiled him as an organized serial killer and the profile matches the killer. Criminal profileing is not a true science. Most profilers are only 50% correct. I'm 90% correct so far. I could be wrong about Anne's killer as I stated before criminal profileing is not a true science. But I'm seeing a disorganized crime scene. I'm going way out on a limb when I state the killer is a black male. Usually I try not to determine race or age but sometimes I like to include it just to see how accurate I can be. If I'm wrong you people can tell me so. Nothing is 100% when it comes to criminal profileing. Time will tell and I think police have a real good chance of solveing Anne's murder. In the Brianna Denison case Reno Nevada I profiled her killer as an organized serial rapist/killer. I just call it the way I see it. Of course I could be wrong but in my opinion were dealing with a disorganized killer in Anne's case.
Disorganized killers have certain types of behavioral characteristics just like the organized killer has. I hope I spelled all that correct?

Pat I agree with what you're saying. My great uncle Pappy Gunn was inducted into the Arkansas Aviator hall of fame Nov 13, 2008 in Little Rock at the IMAC center. I drove thru Anne's neighberhood and noticed several afro americans walking down University near Cantrell not that far from Anne's home. I also noticed Rosevelt is not that far as the crow flies (couple of miles) from Anne's neighberhood. Disorganized offenders usally do not work and if they do work it's a unskilled low paying job. They like to roam at night and sleep during the day. Anne's killer purchased gas with her ATM card early that morning. Obviously he's the type that stays up late at night. In my opinion he's young and strong and could have very easily broke most of the bones in Anne's face by striking her multiple times with his fist very hard. Anne's was very fragile compared to a young strong male who just so happens to be mean and violent. She never had a chance!!!
This case in some ways reminds me of the Eve Carson case University of North Carolina Chappel Hill student body president and Lauren Bergt Auburn University except those girls were shot. Our killer is not very smart by evidence he was stupid enough to use Anne's credit card. That video can be enhanced and cleared up. It's going to give authroities a good physical description of our killer and possibly a good description of the killers car ref: make, type and year. Remember folks I have very limited information on Anne's case. I'm speculating BIG TIME but will see in time how accurate my speculation and profile is.
I know these scum bags I've been dealing with them for over 30 years.

Pat the dna will be perfomed by a certified lab not the hospital.
The dna report will be closely guraded, only the detectives in chrage of the investigation will know the results of the dna report. Point being we don't know the race of the killer or how many. But in my opinion were dealing with a young black male who is disorganized.

Anonymous reporter you can see the John Walsh interview on YouTube Good morning LA, California. John Walsh confirmed not once but twice Anne was sexually assaulted.
I think he made LRPD mad when he stated that. I noticed that information was not on America's Most Wanted Web Site.
Walsh made a mistake and let that slip out imo.
LRPD is trying to keep all this information very close to there vest and that's the smart thing to do.
The best chance we have for quick arrest is to have some one drop a dime on the killer. The reward money hopefully will help. One last comment the possibility exzist the killer noticed Anne driving her white BMW home that night and followed her to her residence with intentions of robbing her and sexually assaulting her. The case is still wide open imo.

Glenn, I say you are right on.

Black people walking down University Ave.? Really? Near the library or one of the schools perhaps? During the day? Having lived in LR all my life, that sounds odd...very busy street and too many shortcuts to a likely destination (a nearby mall). University isn't all that close to Anne's house and Roosevelt Rd. certainly isn't. A black person wandering the Heights area (especially that close to Edgehill) would be noticed day or night. LRPD has a habit of profiling black male drivers on that side of town, so I just don't buy the "afro american" did it; an angle that originated from some white supremacist website. I think either a jealous woman did it or a male who wanted to date her did. I doubt it was random either way.

Oh sure...I am a LR native; have relatives near Anne...and I travel this area 2 to 3X per week. You betcha, the surrounding borders of the Heights area are a melting pot. University is certainly w/i running distance of Anne's home..walking distance even. No sweat, especially for a young person.
For that matter, this person/persons could have parked their car at Cheers' parking lot or Kroger or Kavanaugh business lot or side street. I know LRPD was checking Country Club video. Or they could have been dropped and then picked up [after they called by cell phone].
Where/when/how/why the CC was used...nails this person[s] in many ways including gender-LRPD said they were looking for a male.

Glenn, I understand you visited the area, but you have to really be a resident to know which areas of town the blacks are welcomed in....and the Heights is not one. No disrespect, but if you toured Anne's neighborhood, you could tell that a person really had to know their way around to find her house. That area of town is not a high crime area. Now if this was in the Southwest or East side of town, I would believe it was a black male. However, I find that very hard to believe. You should look up the high crim areas in Little Rock. Also, please do not confuse North Little Rock as being part of Little Rock...it's a totally different city across the river with it's own police force and city government.
True University is several miles long, but clearly you were on the rough end of University. This is noted by you stating you were on Roosevelt. A black male or female would stick out in the Heights....please remember this is the south and the LE do not play about people in an area they do not fit in. There are several rich blacks who are pulled over in their own sub division...gated at that, so nope do not buy the black suspect. If it was a black person, why leave the BMW, since some sites want to be streotypical. You indicated young, dumb and black.
In addition, I think the killer was very organized. I believed this person watched her and knew her routine. This person probably has a high IQ, leave at home with his mother, lack social skills and basically a hidden stalker.

I meant to say ...live at home with mother.

Disorganized/asocial offenders are often of low intelligence, have a below average IQ (

Oh, yeah Glenn....I know that the DNA will be conducted at the lab, but the determining factor of race can be concluded through semen and pubic hair as well.

I hope they check any-one who has prior assocation with her home who may know the lay-out of the homes near her's or done work close by to her. also jealous - co-workers in this time and age is not to far out check the story of Larry Mendte the co-anchor of Alyca Lane in Philidelphia ruine both of there career's.

Press conference at 10:00 pm.
Police are to announce a suspect in Anne's murder. No arrest has been made at this time.

Steve~ I do not now your policy about posting web links. If I was not suppose to do this, please let me know.

Lori, links are fine, no worries. ~ Steve

Mr. Glenn Owens: thank you for your profile of this criminal---you are very skilled and someday I hope
people can better appreciate the service you try to provide
for the benefit of the families and public safety. I know
from my heart, I do, because, you see-- the relative I have that lives close to Anne is my beloved single daughter. I will sleep
much better tonight--thanks to the hard work of LE and people like you. Thank you!

And thanks, Steve, for your hard work on these blogs and allowing us to comment and share information.

http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=76409&catid=2

LRPD has DNA. Perp in jail cell by himself. Judge coming
to jail on holiday weekend [tomorrow].

Glenn according to the suspect they have in custody...you were correct as far as the race. However, I think it's more to it than what the LE is saying. The LE said he did not know Anne...which everyone speculated that the killer had to have known her because of the dogs. It's odd that a person that the LE says has no criminal background would commit such a terrible crime. Could it be that someone may have hired him to do this? Now rumors are that when the LE announced they would have a news conference and name the suspect, Anne friends thought it was going to be the person she was involved with....yes rumors are out that she was involve with a very rich married man.
So is it possible that this man was paid to do this?

Thanks Sue for those kind remarks.

I'm just sick about Anne's murder. Another beautiful young lady brutally murdered.

Pat this suspect is NO different than the scum bags who brutally murdered Eve Carson and Lauren Burgt. Stupid disorganized killers/rapist. I'm not sure how the suspect targeted Anne. I advised Fox 16 News in my interview with them Nov 21. I thought he may have observed Anne and followed her home or possibly was checking doors looking for a victim. I also profiled the Brianna Denison case in Reno Nevada. A white scum bag has just been arrested for her abduction murder linked by dna evidence. I profiled Brianna's killer as a organized killer serial rapist. Thanks to the suspects girl friend who kept up with Beianna's case she knew the killer kept his victims panties as souvenirs. She found panties under his seat and became suspiciouse. I advised KOLO TV Reno Stewart Cambell that the killer may be takeing souvenirs (panties). I named him the Panty Snatcher. I think were going to find out many things about Mr Vance over the next year. This case in now going into the prosecutorial stage. He's innocent until proven guilty in a criminal court of law. Burglary, robbery and murder is capital murder in The State of Arkansas punishable by death.

MAY GOD BLESS ANNE'S SOUL.

Where are those rumors??? Anne's friends?

Lawd, I wonder if this 'rich married man' hired him to leave his DNA there too??? Or how about this:

Sue if you go to the local news media blogs, it's rumored that she was involve with Jermaine Taylor. However, I heard this over the weekend and decided to see if it was mentioned anywhere...and it's out there. According to a friend who has a relative on the police force...yes her friends mentioned she was involved with JT. If it's true, wonder why the media has not mentioned this....could it be because in Arkansas JT is gold?
I just think it's more to this.

We just have to sit back and wait to see what happens. What's done in the dark, shall come to light....regardless of what many may think. If he did this...he should get what's coming to him...but so should everyone who is invloved.

Also, I think JT wife is from Marianna.

pat: can you post some links where we can get some more actual information?

This Anne Pressly- Jermaine Taylor nonsense needs to stop.

I think many people in this community have been offended by the significant amount of racist comments made towards Curtis Vance and "people like him".

I think connecting her to a black man romantically/sexually was an attempt to suggest that she wasn't as clean and upright as her legacy suggests.

This rumor is nothing more than a smear tactic fueled by those that are envious of the life she led and the legacy she carries.

I have bad news for all of you that want to believe she somehow brought this on herself in any way.

She WAS NOT involved with that man- at all. Lets acknowledge Curtis Vance for the sick, sadistic serial rapist that he is and stop trying to assign blame to someone who is not here to defend herself.

Anyone spreading this awful rumor should be ashamed to call themselves human.

If she was involved with JT...which I do find hard to believe...why would that smear her image?
It would only smear her image with the racist people....both black and white. Most people are not concerned with that. It only big news because both of them are well known in the public.
This happenes all the time and will die down very soon.

It would smear his because........HE IS MARRIED WITH CHILDREN.

Pat, are you slow?

NOTE FROM STEVE: Please stick to one screen name. No one is expected to use their real name in a comment -- in fact, it's inadvisable -- but if you comment a lot, use the same screen name. Otherwise I tend to flag the comment as questionable. Thanks.

Seriously,
Not everyone knows that JT is married, let alone has children. I live in Arkansas and I had never heard of JT. And believe it or not, I am a sports fan. Boxing is not my favorite, but, I do follow the heavy weight matches to a certain degree. So, please do not assume that someone might be slow simply because they are not privy to the same information that you are. Whether or not Anne was involved w/ JT or any other man is irrelevant. What is important is that a vicious, disgusting, cowardly, rapist is off the streets. He is off the streets due to many peoples hard work and the bravery of the rape victim that did the right thing by contacting Marianna LE when she was raped this past spring. Kudos to her and all of LE that helped get this monster off the street.

No, I am not slow! When I said smear her image...i meant by being involved with a black male.
Personally, JT image is smeared because he is known to cheat on his wife, so it's no big deal to him. That is a well known fact. I do know someone who has been involved with him for years. Therefore, who cares about him!

Pat, your posts are becoming more and more incoherent.

Mr. Taylor has a family to protect and his own image/safety to protect. These rumors are amazingly incendiary, whether he has affairs or not- To be associated with this crime in such an unfounded manner should matter to you. You have presented no facts, just more and more yappin about what "you heard from so and so".... "blah, blah, blah"

What was done to Anne should not be associated with anyone, unless actual facts are brought forth in this case to support the guilt you have already willingly assigned to him, by just promulgating this trashy rumor.

The Anne-Jermaine connection is an awful rumor and nothing more and yes it smears both of them. He is a married man with children.

Are you Repulsed or Seriously today, since you have to post under 2 different names? What I said earlier stands!

I am seriously repulsed by your incoherent ramblings and you have yet to provide any factual information to support your defamatory "juicy gossip" you have such a penchant for posting.

Sue, I completely agree with you, we should not lose sight of the most important objective and I think the the suspect in custody will be held accountable for his actions to the utmost degree.

What is scary is what is Vance's lawyer going to do with the LRPD's media release regarding fair trial? That scares me. http://static.katv.com/news/lrpd120208.pdf

And now a gag order:

http://static.katv.com/news/gagorder.pdf

No juicy gossip...just looking at things from different angles....testing the orginal argument to find weaknesses in its structure.
No one has provided factual evidence, not even the police.

If the police haven't provided any factual evidence, how in the world would they be able to have Curtis Vance in custody, who is currently charged with CAPITAL MURDER?
What the police have not done, is provide any factual information to refute the rumor you so willingly spread because it is a waste of their time. They actual have substantive evidence and facts they are working with unlike yourself.

The LRPD are privy to a lot more information than you will ever know and they are acting upon in a logical, professional manner unlike a lot of people in the community.

They do not owe you an explanation for some two-bit rumor you heard off of the streets.

Now see, I thought the *smear* is that a woman who was a faithful Christian was being accused of sleeping with a married man. Silly, me. The "real" smear is that she was involved with a black man? Racist much?

This is 2008 BTW, NOT 1908. It's actually okay to be involved with someone of a different race.

Get off of the "rumors" and stick with the facts, Sue, Pat and LR_Resident. "Repulsed" is right. Let the LRPD do their job without this silly nonsense!

Glenn Owen you were exactly right.

murdered when attacker went thru doggie door

Thanks Rufus.
Nothing special about my profile on Anne's case.
Seen to many attacks on beautiful women in the past.
I knew when her credit card was used early in the morning in the afro american section of town Anne's killer would be most likely be black.
I'm very disappointed Vance did not receive the death penalty. Another case I worked on when I was cop was recently pled out and the killer received life for murdering 3 people. The 29 year old mother 3 year old daughter and 11 year old daughter. The 11 year old Jessica Butts was sexually assaulted post mortem. I was the first MAJOR homicide case I ever worked on a peace officer. It took 17 years to finally get the suspect Kevin Hailey to plea guilty and we had the evidence.
It's very obvious to me after Anne's case and the Butts Triple Murders the death penalty is on the way out.
When we can't get a death penalty on a triple homocide in Texas involving little children being brutally raped and murdered then the death penalty is obviously on the way out!
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RULES THE DAY MY FRIENDS!!!!
