Two Waxahachie residents face warrants for Frank Weiss’s 2002 death, a case reopened by Frisco police due to technological advances and a key witness, police said
FRISCO, Texas — Frisco police have arrested a second suspect in a 24-year-old homicide case that went cold.
The law enforcement agency arrested 57‑year‑old Waxahachie resident Keith Hart on a murder warrant connected to the case on May 8. The arrest was made in coordination with the Waxahachie Police Department, according to officials.
Previously, Frisco police arrested a Waxahachie woman in connection with the homicide case in April.
Authorities say 55-year-old Lisa Honrud was taken into custody in April. She faces a murder warrant tied to the 2002 killing of Plano resident Frank Weiss, police said in a news release.
Weiss was found dead near Lake Lewisville, which is within Frisco city limits. At the time of his death, Honrud was married to him, according to Frisco PD.
“This second arrest moves us closer to closure for the Weiss family and our entire community,” Frisco Police Chief David Shilson said in a statement. “We are grateful for the continued support and will keep working until every responsible party is brought to justice.”
The department said that modern advances in investigative techniques and technology, along with new information from a key witness, led detectives to make significant progress in the case and ultimately secure the arrest warrant.
Shilson called the first arrest a major development for the victim’s family.
“For 24 years, the Weiss family has waited for answers,” Shilson said. “Today’s arrest is an important step toward justice, and we will continue working until everyone involved is held accountable.”
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Frisco PD.
