WINNIPEG — Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says a preliminary search of a Winnipeg landfill for the remains of a victim of a serial killer has started.

Kinew says the province is in the test phase of the search at the city-run Brady Road landfill for the remains of Ashlee Shingoose.

Shingoose was one of the four First Nations women killed by Jeremy Skibicki in 2022.

The premier says an excavation of the site began this week and a small team has been conducting ground-penetrating radar tests to narrow down a search area.

Kinew says a proper search of the landfill could happen later this year.

He also says the province is making plans to search the landfill for the remains of Tanya Nepinak, a First Nations woman last seen in Winnipeg in 2011.

A search of a different landfill for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran, also victims of Skibicki, finished this summer after remains of both women were found.
