Frisco police arrested a Waxahachie woman Monday in connection with a 24-year-old cold case homicide, according to the department.
Police said 55-year-old Lisa Honrud was taken into custody at about 7:47 a.m. on April 20 with assistance from the Waxahachie Police Department. She was arrested on a murder warrant tied to the 2002 killing of Plano resident Frank Weiss.
Investigators said Weiss was found dead near Lake Lewisville within Frisco city limits.
At the time of the killing, Honrud was married to Weiss, police said.
According to the Frisco Police Department, detectives made progress in the case through advances in investigative techniques, modern technology, and new information from a key witness. That work led investigators to obtain the arrest warrant for Honrud.
“We are thankful for our investigators who have put countless hours into this case, as well as the Waxahachie Police Department for their assistance with this arrest,” Frisco Police Chief David Shilson said in a statement. “For 24 years, the Weiss family has waited for answers. Today’s arrest is an important step toward justice, and we will continue working until everyone involved is held accountable.”
