On June 4, 2002, Frank Weiss's body was found in Lake Lewisville, wrapped in black plastic bags, tied with rope, and weighted down with sandbags duct-taped to his legs. He had been shot with a .38 caliber revolver. For 24 years, the case went unsolved—until a witness came forward in 2026 to tell investigators what they'd kept secret for over two decades.
