Anchorwoman's Murder Suspect Arrested
ABC24 ^ | 11/27/08

Posted on 11/26/2008 10:31:58 PM PST by freespirited

LITTLE ROCK, AR - Little Rock Police say they have arrested the man wanted in the beating death of Little Rock television anchor Anne Pressly.

During a 10:00 p.m. news conference Wednesday night, police issued a warrant for Curtis Lavelle Vance, 28, of Marianna, Arkansas, charging him with capital murder in Pressly's beating.

Our Little Rock sister station tells us Vance was arrested at the intersection of 24th & Cross in Little Rock.

The anchorwoman's mother found her body Oct. 20, a half-hour before Pressly was due on KATV's 5 a.m. "Daybreak" program. Pressly had been beaten about the head and upper body and never regained consciousness before dying five days later.

We are working to get more information on this story.

Do you think the libearl Kooks in the media will now apologize for stating that the attack had something to do with her appearance in the movie “W”. As if it were a Republican attack.

I don’t care about his color, race, or religion. Human debris comes in a multitude of “packages”. Its always somewhat enlightening to read comments from fellow Freepers. We should be above using such intellectually weak comments to bolster a position. If he’s guilty he should be executed. Leave the emotional name calling to those on the left.


Since however, color, race and religion are honest factors in crime why should we ignore them?
Ignoring something does not make it go away or change the fact that it exists..
How many people that killed over 3000 American on 9/11 were Amish? Oops, everyone of them was an Islamofacist.
In conjunction with census statics on percentage of race in America, how close does the percentage of incarceration match the percentage of race?
If Law Enforcers did not profile, this Nations solved crime rate would drop like a lead ballon.
At some point in our Nations history we as citizen and the Goverment were honest about facts like who kills who and who robs and who rapes and who molests. Now in rapidly becoming secular/socialistic society we deny those truths.

Why am I not surprised it’s a black guy? Ugly stupid black criminal kills beautiful white girl...again. It has become a sad but VERY repetitive story.....almost the same as terrorists being Muslim......

We are at war and only one side seems to be fighting. I hope that changes.

They forgot to mention if they had the spinning hubcaps.

For me, the chain license plate holder and crown air freshener on the dashboard are dead giveaways.

Which brings up a point - is it ok for the cops to use "accessory profiling" to stop suspect vehicles? They don't have to see the race of the driver to do this.

It could just have easily been a white guy. As for racial profiling, I am 100% in favor of using this when the situation calls for it.

More from Durham ...

Synopsis: Black dude allegedly rapes white Duke student in 2/2007, out on $50K bond.

Allegedly rapes again in 6/2008. Charged 11/14/08 and picked up during a routine traffic stop on 11/17/08. No details disclosed.

Durham had a alleged SERIAL RAPIST on the loose and the Durham Herald-Sun has yet to report that Burch has been arrested again, held on $1.85 million.

Gattis rape suspect jailed this month
By: Shuchi Parikh

A man charged with the second-degree rape of a then-freshman in February 2007 was arrested on the same charges Nov. 14.

Michael Burch, a Durham resident, is currently being held in Durham County Jail on $1.85 million bond, Durham Police Department clerks said.

Burch also faces charges of first-degree sexual offense and felony aiding and abetting, for crimes which allegedly occurred June 21, said Candy Clark, an administrative assistant in the Durham County District Attorney’s Office. He is scheduled to appear in Criminal District Court Dec. 8 before a grand jury.

Burch, who is not a Duke student, was arrested in February 2007 for allegedly raping a then-18-year-old freshman at around 3 a.m. Feb. 11, 2007 at an off-campus party at 405 Gattis St. The party was hosted by members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., and police had found marijuana, cocaine and Oxycontin in the house.

Burch was held on a $50,000 bond and released from jail the same day.

“The disparity between $50,000 and [the new bond of] $1.85 million is just so negligent in our minds,” the first victim’s father said Monday. “[My daughter] was validated, but unfortunately my question to the initial judges is, ‘How come my 18-year-old daughter knew better than you?’”

The victim’s father said he feels there was an injustice in the difference between the bond amount for the three wrongly indicted members of the 2006 men’s lacrosse team and Burch’s bond in 2007.

“We feel eschewed because the Duke lacrosse players had to post $400,000 and this individual had to post $50,000,” he said. “From a racial aspect, on the outside looking in, [it seems they thought] ‘four white kids from the North let’s make it $400,000 and for a black guy let’s make it $50,000.’ A crime is a crime.”

This monster beat sweet Anne so bad her face was a bloody pulp beyond recognition.

Some workers at the Hospital she was in were fired because they breached her medical records and leaked she had been brutally sexually molested beyond our imagination.

For her parents, this bitter sweet Thanksgiving will forever be the day their daughter's murderer was finally captured. As for the rest of us, we can sleep better tonight.

How about the 4-door sedans with the front end jacked up to go with the annoying spinning hubcaps and chain link tag holder,which wouldn’t be complete without the oversized sub woofers that sit where the back seat once was.

The media mentioned that the car he was driving was black, but they left out the fact that he was black.

No they didn't, they gave you a big hint when they named the woman he was with....Sheanika Cooper.

How did I know he was going to be black?

Easy, if you know the code:

1. A description without hair color

2. A description without skin color (e.g. "white", "Hispanic", "Asian")

3. Lots of detailed descriptions such as what he was wearing, how tall he was, and what he was driving - but none, zero, nada, mention of skin color

4. Very often the brutal crime seems totally senseless but is against a pretty white girl or a nice white couple and there is vicious torture and rape involved

See? It's easy to know when Political Correctness is taking part in the investigation. You can spot it a mile away after all these years.

Sure. It simply never occurred to me. I assumed from the nature of the attack that it was someone who knew her well, destroying her face is personal. I thought they would find it was a jilted boyfriend or girlfriend.

Well, if it is a vicious, senseless murder in a state like Arkansas with a significant Black population, statistics alone will lead one to the hypothesis that the killer is most likely Black. PC doubletalk aside, Blacks in America are far more likely to perpetrate violent crime than are people of other races. The violence of this attack suggests extreme hatred, probably race hatred. The Obama campaign had these people all fired up. The thought of this primitive, savage animal murdering that beautiful young woman boils the blood.

America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh did an interview with Lisa Breckenridge after “Good Day LA” and stated that Ms. Pressly had been brutally raped and beaten to death and unfortunately here mother found her when she did not show up for work.

If the reports of the depravity of this crime are true, this woman suffered horrifically.

This crime will go down the memory hole just like the Knoxville Horror that the media refused to acknowledge.
