WAXAHACHIE – It took 24 years, but last week Frisco police, with the assistance of Waxahachie police, arrested Lisa Honrud at her home in Waxahachie for a murder committed in 2002.
Honrud was charged with her husband’s murder after the case had gone cold for decades, police reported.
The 55-year-old woman was arrested and charged with the murder of her husband, Frank Weiss, who was found shot to death near Lake Lewisville in Frisco.
Fishermen found Weiss’ body near the lake, wrapped in a plastic bag with two gunshots to the chest according to KDFW.
Frisco police were able to reopen the case after they received new information from a key witness, police said.
While no specific information was released regarding the new forensic technology police used, it was indicated the new technology linked Honrud to the murder.
“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,” said Frisco Police Chief David Shilson.
“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.”
