Frisco police have taken a third person into custody regarding the 1998 homicide of Frank Weiss, a Plano resident, veteran, and businessman. The arrest marks a significant development in a case that had remained unsolved for more than two decades.
Investigators stated that the latest detention resulted from evidence indicating that the three suspects had communicated with one another about how to answer questions from detectives as the probe progressed. This discovery of coordinated communication among the individuals involved provided the basis for the most recent charge.
Weiss, who was 44 years old at the time of his death, was killed in Plano. The city is located approximately 6 miles south of Allen. His family and the local community have waited 24 years for answers regarding the circumstances of his death.
The case was initially classified as a cold case due to the passage of time and the challenges of gathering evidence decades after the incident. The recent actions by Frisco police suggest that new leads or re-examined evidence prompted the investigation to move forward again.
Details regarding the specific charges filed against the third suspect or the identities of the first two individuals previously arrested were not provided in the initial reports. It remains unclear when the third suspect will appear in court or what specific evidence linked him to the crime beyond the alleged coordination with the other suspects.
