Frisco police arrest Waxahachie man in 2002 cold case homicide

Frisco police arrested 50-year-old Jason Honrud of Waxahachie at about 7 a.m. June 24 on a murder warrant tied to the 2002 killing of Plano resident Frank Weiss, the third arrest in a cold case that had sat unresolved for 24 years. The arrest came with help from the Waxahachie Police Department, and investigators said the break came from modern technology, updated investigative techniques and continued witness cooperation.

Weiss was found dead near Lake Lewisville within the Frisco city limits, a killing that long lingered in North Texas homicide files. He was described in reporting as a Plano businessman and military veteran. One account said his body was found wrapped in black plastic bags with 50-pound sandbags taped to his legs, a grim detail that underscored how long the case remained open and how difficult it was to unwind.

The June arrest followed two earlier arrests in the same case this spring. Frisco police arrested Lisa Honrud, 55, of Waxahachie, on April 20, 2026, and Keith Hart, 57, of Waxahachie, on May 8, 2026. Police said Jason Honrud is currently married to Lisa Honrud, and reporting based on the department’s release said Lisa Honrud was married to Weiss at the time of his death.

Chief David Shilson said the second arrest in the case was a step toward accountability for the family and the wider community. "This second arrest moves us closer to closure for the Weiss family and our entire community," he said. The latest warrant pushes the case further, turning a file that once seemed frozen into one that is now moving through the criminal justice system.

The case now moves into court, where prosecutors will have to present the evidence that supported the warrant and connect the arrests to the 2002 homicide. Frisco police are still asking anyone with information to call the department at (972) 292-6010 or use its anonymous text and app tip options, leaving the investigation active as the case continues to unfold.
