Ashlee Shingoose Identified as Buffalo Woman, Fourth Victim of Winnipeg Serial Killer

Winnipeg police confirm the identity of the victim after new evidence and calls grow for a search of the Brady landfill to recover her remains.

  • Winnipeg police officially identified Ashlee Shingoose, a 31-year-old mother of three from St. Theresa Point First Nation, as Buffalo Woman, the fourth victim of serial killer Jeremy Skibicki.
  • The identification follows new information provided by Skibicki during a post-conviction interview in December 2024 and DNA analysis of items linked to Shingoose.
  • Indigenous leaders and family members are urging authorities to search the Brady landfill, where Shingoose’s remains are believed to have been dumped, to bring her home for memorialization.
  • The remains of two other victims, Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran, were recently recovered from the Prairie Green landfill, while Rebecca Contois’s remains were found earlier at a different site.
  • The case has reignited calls for systemic changes to address violence against Indigenous women in Canada, which a 2019 inquiry described as a 'genocide.'
