Overview

• Experts conducting a search at the Prairie Green Landfill near Winnipeg have discovered potential human remains, which are now under investigation for identification.
• The remains are believed to be those of Morgan Harris, 39, and Marcedes Myran, 26, two Indigenous women murdered by serial killer Jeremy Skibicki in 2022.
• Families of the victims, who have long advocated for the search, were notified of the discovery and visited the site to process the development and pray together.
• The landfill search, initiated in December 2024 after previous refusals due to safety concerns, was a key issue in Manitoba's 2023 election, with the current government committing $20 million to the effort.
• This development highlights the broader crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, which has been described as a 'genocide' by a 2019 national inquiry.
