Waxahachie Woman Arrested in 24-Year-Old Frisco Murder Case

A Waxahachie woman was arrested Monday morning in connection with a 2002 homicide case that Frisco police say had gone cold for nearly 24 years.
According to the Frisco Police Department, 55-year-old Lisa Honrud of Waxahachie was arrested April 20, 2026, around 7:47 a.m. on a murder warrant. The arrest was carried out with help from the Waxahachie Police Department. Police said the case is tied to the killing of Frank Weiss, a Plano resident who was found dead near Lake Lewisville within Frisco city limits in 2002. At the time of his death, Honrud was married to Weiss. Frisco investigators said the arrest came after major progress in the long-unsolved case. According to police, detectives were able to build the case through newer investigative methods, updated technology, and new information from a key witness. “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.” *All suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.*
