Preliminary search of Winnipeg landfill for victim of serial killer underway: Kinew

The Manitoba government began a preliminary search this week at the Brady Road landfill in Winnipeg for the remains of Ashlee Shingoose, a victim of serial killer Jeremy Skibicki.
The search follows the 2022 conviction of Skibicki for the first-degree murders of four First Nations women, including Shingoose, whose remains were identified after his trial via interviews and DNA evidence.
The search team has been conducting ground-penetrating radar tests and will trial alternate testing methods to establish a fiscally responsible and maximum successful approach for recovering Shingoose’s remains.
Premier Wab Kinew explained that the pilot test phase of the search involves excavating and examining materials to determine the most effective approach for the investigation. He also highlighted the support received from the city and maintained ongoing communication with Ashlee Shingoose's family.
A full search could proceed later this year depending on the test phase results, which will also help design safety protocols and clarify the scope of the necessary excavation work.
