Overview

  • Manitoba said Thursday it has fully decommissioned the Prairie Green landfill search site after a seven-month operation.
  • The province set the final Prairie Green cost at $18.4 million, far below 2023 estimates that ranged from $84 million to $184 million.
  • Roughly $21.6 million, along with the search crew and gear, now shifts to Winnipeg’s Brady Road landfill to look for Ashlee Shingoose.
  • Prairie Green crews found human remains in March 2025 that were later identified as Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran, with field work ending July 9, 2025.
  • Serial killer Jeremy Skibicki was convicted in 2024 of murdering four First Nations women, and public anger grew after police initially declined to search Prairie Green despite GPS data.
