PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Arrest made in 2002 Frisco cold case

Police arrested the former wife of a man found dead in 2002 and charged her with his murder. FOX 4's Vania Castillo has more from the police involved and the family of the victim.

Frisco police have arrested a second person for a cold case murder that happened 24 years ago.

What's new:

On Friday, officers arrested 57-year-old Keith Hart of Waxahachie on a murder warrant.

The backstory:

Hart is the second person to face charges for the 2002 murder of Plano resident Frank Weiss, whose body was found near Lake Lewisville within the Frisco city limits.

Last month, police also arrested 55-year-old Lisa Honrud. She was married to Weiss at the time.

Police have not said how they linked Honrud and Hart to the crime, but said modern technology and investigative techniques, along with information from a key witness, helped them solve the 24-year-old cold case.

A 55-year-old woman was arrested in Waxahachie and charged with murder after Frisco police linked her to the 24-year-old cold case death of her husband near Lake Lewisville.

What they're saying:

Frisco police said this second arrest is the result of investigative progress, commitment, and cooperation by key witnesses.

"This second arrest moves us closer to closure for the Weiss family and our entire community. We are grateful for the continued support and will keep working until every responsible party is brought to justice." Chief David Shilson said.

The other side:

FOX 4’s Vania Castillo spoke with Weiss’ daughter, Carla, shortly after Honrud’s arrest. She called the moment bittersweet.

"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 said. "But acceptance doesn't kill. I dreamed of there being an answer, but I didn't expect one." 

"24 years is a long time. We are all so appreciative and grateful of this day."

During the interview, Weiss’ daughter told FOX 4 she didn’t believe Honrud acted alone, saying her father was a large man.
