LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The parents of an Arkansas television anchorwoman who was beaten to death say there's forensic evidence their daughter was sexually assaulted as well, and she broke her hand fighting off her attacker.
Guy and Patti Cannady talked with the "Today" show's Matt Lauer on Monday, five days after suspect Curtis Lavelle Vance was arrested in the beating death of KATV anchorwoman Anne Pressly of Little Rock. They said while the police were investigating the case as a homicide, there's a lot of evidence that there was more to it than that.
Pressly was a graduate of Rhodes College in Memphis and worked previously for WBBJ-TV in Jackson, Tennessee.
Pressly died in the hospital five days later without regaining consciousness.
Guy Cannady said the family still has many questions about the murder. He said the police theory is that Pressly interrupted a random robbery, but he isn't convinced of that.

The Courts are convinced DNA evidence is absolute certainty. IT IS NOT. The DNA profiles use a small part of our DNA. Raymond Easton suffers from Parkinson's disease. By the year 2000 he was so disabled that he could not manage to dress himself alone. In spite of this he was charged with a burglary which had taken place 200 miles away from his home. Three years earlier Raymond was involved in a family dispute. He had been cautioned and a DNA sample was taken. Raymond's DNA matched that found at the scene of the burglary. Fortunately DNA testing offered a way out of the situation it had created. Once a fuller DNA analysis was made, differences between Raymond's DNA and that of the burglar became clear and the charges against him were dropped. Despite its increased resolution, DNA profiling is often not enough.
