A woman has been charged with her husband’s 2002 murder after the case went cold for decades, police announced.
Lisa Honrud, 55, was arrested Monday for allegedly killing Frank Weiss — her husband who was found shot dead near Lake Lewisville in Frisco, Texas, 24 years ago — after investigators received new information from a key witness, police said.
Police also credited the breakthrough to new forensic technology, although they did not reveal specifically what led them to arrest Weiss’s widow.
Weiss’s body was found by fisherman near the lake wrapped in a plastic bag with two gunshot wounds to the chest, according to KDFW. The case went cold for nearly a quarter century until Honrud’s arrest.
Weiss’s daughter, Carla Weiss, now 44, said she believes others were likely involved in her dad’s death, noting that her father was a large man.
Weiss said it was both difficult and bittersweet to learn about Honrud’s arrest after living more than half of her life with the mystery of her father’s murder.
“Hope is a funny thing. Hope has a way of strangling you, and so, at some point, I have probably accepted that there will never be an answer,” she told KDFW.
“But acceptance doesn’t kill. I dreamed of there being an answer, but I didn’t expect one.”
Honrud and Carla Weiss’s relationship was not immediately clear.
“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 Chief of Police 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,” he added.
Carla Weiss recalled her father as “a wonderful man.”
“The kind of guy who DJ’d my 16th birthday party and all my friends knew as Daddy Frank,” she told NBCDFW. “He deserved better than this, and we deserved to have him in our lives a lot longer than we did.”
