A woman from Texas is now in custody after officials claim she has been connected to the long-unsolved murder of her husband, a case that has remained cold for nearly 25 years.
According to the Frisco Police Department, Lisa Honrud, aged 55, was apprehended in Waxahachie on Monday.
Investigators accuse Honrud of involvement in the 2002 murder of her then-husband, Frank Weiss.
On Monday, April 20, 2026, Lisa Honrud was arrested in Waxahachie, Texas, and charged with murder.
Frank Weiss, who lived in Plano, was discovered deceased near Lake Lewisville, sparking a decades-long investigation to identify his murderer, authorities report.
The remains of Frank Weiss were found near Lake Lewisville in Frisco, Texas, back in 2002, as stated by the authorities.
Honrud was taken into custody in coordination with the Frisco and Waxahachie Police Departments, officials said.

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.”
The Frisco Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
