LITTLE ROCK—Little Rock police said Monday they are seeking a person— yet unidentified—in the attack on a television anchorwoman but warned city residents to maintain a “sense of discipline” to ensure that they wouldn’t become victims, too.

Anne Pressley, 26, died Saturday from injuries suffered during a brutal attack in her home. Her mother found her badly beaten Oct. 20 a half-hour before Pressly was due on the air.

More than a week after the attack, police said they still believe Pressly was attacked at random rather than because of her high-profile job on the city’s ABC affiliate.

Asked whether that should give residents cause for alarm, police spokesman Sgt. Cassandra Davis said, “Crime occurs throughout the city and we are advising the citizens to maintain the same sense of discipline to keep themselves safe as we do all the year around.

“We have not discovered anything that would lead us to believe she was a targeted individual,” Davis said.

Pressly’s purse was missing the morning of the attack and investigators have said it is possible the anchorwoman was a robbery victim.

“We do have an individual. The suspect has not been arrested,” Davis said. The suspect’s name is not known, Davis said.

Reports last week said one of Pressly’s credit cards was used Oct. 20 at a service station near downtown Little Rock. Davis said police wouldn’t comment on evidence obtained so far.

“We hope that we will be able to make an arrest from the information that we have received,” Davis said.

Chief Stuart Thomas said Monday that his officers had been in contact with the FBI, the state police and the U.S. Marshals Service. In a statement, he said his department has withheld specific information in an effort to keep the investigation focused but that it would release information if it believed it would help detectives or keep the community safe.

“The foremost objective here is ... a successful investigation,” Thomas said.

Previously, police said there was no sign of forced entry at Pressly’s home, a small wood-frame house near the Little Rock Country Club. Yellow police tape outlined the property and Davis said officers were returning to the scene as needed in a search for more evidence.

On the sidewalk outside the home stood a small shrine with flowers, stuffed animals and a Jesus figurine.

The station for which Pressly worked, KATV, established a reward fund for information. The station said the fund exceeds $30,000 and that Pressly’s family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the fund.

Pressly was born in South Carolina and moved with her family to Little Rock while she was in high school. She attended Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn.

She had a small role as a conservative commentator in the new Oliver Stone movie “W.”
