Keith Hart Arrested as Second Suspect in 2002 Killing of Frank Weiss

Police credit modern tools with help from a key witness.

Overview

  • Frisco police, with help from Waxahachie officers, arrested Keith Hart, 57, in Waxahachie on Friday morning on a murder warrant in the 2002 death of Plano resident Frank Weiss.
  • The new arrest follows last month’s booking of Weiss’s then-wife, Lisa Honrud, 55, who was jailed on a murder charge in the same case.
  • Weiss’s body was found near Lake Lewisville within Frisco city limits in 2002, and the medical examiner later said he was shot twice in the chest with a .38 caliber gun.
  • Detectives reopened the case this year, re-interviewed Honrud and Hart, and reported conflicts in their accounts as they tracked a .38 revolver that witnesses linked to the couple.
  • Chief David Shilson said the latest arrest moves investigators closer to closure for the family, and police say the investigation remains active with the prospect of additional arrests.
