Little Rock, Ark., anchorwoman Anne Pressly's condition was declared stable today after she was attacked in her home Monday. Pressly, 26, stars in the "Daybreak" show for ABC News' Little Rock affiliate KATV.

The popular Little Rock TV anchor and reporter is now fighting for her life. Pressly also has a small part in Oliver Stone's recently released movie "W".

She was found in her bed by her mother with blunt force trauma to the head and upper body, according to Sgt. Cassandra Davis. She was not stabbed, as had been previously reported. Police told The Associated Press that there was no sign of forced entry. They have no suspects whatsoever.

Her mother, Patricia Cannady, found Pressly after she failed to answer a wakeup call early yesterday. Sgt. Davis said Pressly was not stabbed, as had been previously reported.

Pressly’s purse was taken from her home in the attack. And right now the police think the motive of the disaster to be robbery, Sgt. Davis said in an interview, adding that no suspects had been identified. She said there were no visible signs of forced entry to Ms. Pressly’s home.

But the actual reason for the attack remains a mystery. “If there’s one person that does not have an enemy, it is Anne Pressly,” Mallory Hardin told Today’s Matt Lauer from Little Rock Tuesday, a day after the attack. “She’s wonderful to everybody. She’s the most loving girl that anyone could ever meet; [she] is so kind to every stranger. She goes out of her way to help other people.”

According to the investigators the incident is treated as a random attack."Right now, it's being treated as a random incident," Sgt. Cassandra Davis said for AP. "It's unfortunate that it was Ms. Pressly, a news reporter, someone that's visible in the community. With what we have, we can only treat it as a random attack, that being a robbery."
