Little Rock - A day after clarifying statements to the press regarding the possibility of a suspect in the Anne Pressly homicide investigation, Little Rock police offered no new information on the case Wednesday.
Pressly, 26, died Saturday at a local hospital from injuries suffered during a brutal attack in her home on October 20th.

Little Rock Police Department spokesman Terry Hasting said tips are still pouring in from around the country, and detectives continue to follow up on each one.
“We've got tips from California, New Hampshire--people sending us e-mails & other information offering suggestions,” Hastings said. “Those are great. We appreciate those, and we know in all of this there is accurate information that will help us."
Hastings said investigators remain confident that Pressly’s killer will be found.
“Someone out there has information,” Hastings said. “We know that. It's out there, and we're looking for that person to come talk to us."
Authorities offered nothing Wednesday on the subject of potential suspects in the investigation. On Tuesday, LRPD spokesman Cassandra Davis had to clarify statements she made earlier in the week that led national media outlets to report that a suspect was being sought.
On Wednesday, Hastings said no new information on the case was being released, for fear of comprising the investigation.
“We do have information we're working on,” Hasting said. “We do have leads we're following up on. This is a very tight investigation, so we're not releasing any information to make sure none of it gets out.”
Meantime, preparations for Pressly’s memorial service continued Wednesday. The service, which is open to the public, is set for 11:00 a.m. Thursday at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in west Little Rock. Hundreds of Pressly’s friends, co-workers and fans are expected to join family members for the two-hour service.
A reward fund established by KATV topped $42,000 by late Wednesday afternoon. Donations are also being accepted for a newly-established scholarship fund in Pressly’s name.
To make a donation, you can go to any Arvest Bank, or you can mail a check to KATV at P.O. Box 77, Little Rock, Arkansas, 72203.
Checks should be made payable to The Anne Pressly Scholarship Fund.
