The province says potential human remains have been found during a search of the Prairie Green Landfill.
Police have now started a human remains investigation at the site and steps for identification are underway.
The remains of two victims of convicted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki — Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran — are believed to have been taken to the landfill in 2022.
The families of Harris and Myran were notified of the potential discovery and attended the site.
In December, the province began searching a targeted zone at the landfill, which includes 20,300 cubic metres of waste, estimated to have been deposited there between May 9-21, 2022.

RCMP says it has initiated a found human remains investigation and have collected the remains for laboratory analysis and DNA confirmation, under the direction of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
“There is still a lot of uncertainty about what we found today, ” said Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew. “While the experts say that these are partial human remains, we also need to bear in mind, we don’t know which of these two families are potentially going to receive the news, or potentially another family who is not part of the conversation right now.”
Kinew says the identification process will likely take a couple of weeks.
In a statement, AMC Grand Chief Kyra Wilson says, “Today, we stand with heavy hearts, with determination, and with an unbreakable commitment to justice. The discovery of human remains at the Prairie Green Landfill is a painful but significant moment in our collective fight for justice.
While this discovery brings grief, it also reinforces our commitment to ensuring that no family is left without answers, and that justice is served for our stolen sisters. We will continue to stand with the families and support them in their path toward healing and justice.”
