Second Set of Remains in Manitoba Landfill Confirmed as Marcedes Myran
It's a heartbreaking and deeply significant moment as authorities have confirmed that the second set of human remains found in a Manitoba landfill belong to Marcedes Myran. The RCMP made the announcement, bringing a mix of sorrow and closure to her loved ones and the community at large.
Marcedes Myran, along with Morgan Harris and two other Indigenous women, was a victim of convicted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki. The discovery of her remains at the Prairie Green landfill near Winnipeg marks another chapter in the long and painful journey for her family and the Indigenous community, who have been seeking justice and recognition for the women lost to violence.
The search of the landfill began in December 2024, after persistent calls from families and advocates who demanded authorities take action. The tragic reality is that police had previously refused to conduct a search due to safety concerns, and the former Progressive Conservative government had declined to support it. However, after the New Democratic Party (NDP) led by Premier Wab Kinew came into power, a renewed effort was made. The provincial and federal governments allocated $20 million to fund the search, leading to this latest confirmation.

Premier Kinew honored Myran in a public statement, acknowledging the pain felt by her family and the Indigenous community. He emphasized that their loss would not be forgotten and that justice must prevail.
This discovery follows an earlier confirmation that another set of remains found at the same landfill belonged to Morgan Harris. The tragic case also involves Rebecca Contois, whose remains were previously found at a different landfill, and a fourth unidentified woman, known by the Indigenous community as Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe, or Buffalo Woman, whose remains have yet to be located.
Jeremy Skibicki was convicted of first-degree murder, targeting these women at homeless shelters in Winnipeg and later disposing of their bodies. His crimes have once again highlighted the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada—a crisis that demands continuous attention, action, and systemic change.
Earlier this month, Wayne Ewasko, interim leader of the Progressive Conservatives, issued an apology in the legislature to the families of Myran and Harris, acknowledging that the party had "lost its way." But for the families, the pain remains, and the fight for justice is far from over.
This latest confirmation is a sobering reminder of the work that still needs to be done. It is a call for justice, for accountability, and for meaningful change to ensure that Indigenous women are protected and valued. As the investigation continues and more information emerges, the hope is that the truth will pave the way for healing, reform, and a future where such tragedies no longer occur.
