A woman from Texas has been arrested in connection with the cold case murder of her husband, a crime that has remained unsolved for nearly 25 years.
Lisa Honrud, 55, was apprehended in Waxahachie on Monday, as announced by the Frisco Police Department.
Investigators have accused Honrud of being involved in the 2002 murder of Frank Weiss, who was her husband at the time.
On Monday, April 20, 2026, Honrud was charged with murder and taken into custody in Waxahachie, Texas, according to police records.
The investigation into Frank Weiss’s death began in 2002 when his body was discovered near Lake Lewisville. This marked the start of a decades-long effort to identify his killer, authorities stated.

While authorities did not reveal additional details regarding what led investigators to Honrud, they added her arrest was made due to “advancements in investigative techniques, modern technology and new information from a key witness.”
Honrud is facing a murder charge stemming from the 24-year-old cold case, according to authorities.
It was not immediately clear if Honrud had retained an attorney following her arrest.
“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. “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.”
