Authorities confirm the remains of Morgan Harris, a victim of convicted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki, bringing partial closure to her grieving family.

  • Morgan Harris, one of four Indigenous women murdered by Jeremy Skibicki in 2022, has been identified among remains recovered from the Prairie Green landfill near Winnipeg.
  • The search for Harris and Marcedes Myran, another victim believed to be in the landfill, began in December after years of advocacy by the victims' families and Indigenous leaders.
  • The identification marks a significant moment for Harris's family, who expressed bittersweet relief that her remains have been found, allowing them to begin the grieving process.
  • The recovery effort, supported by Manitoba's New Democratic Party government and the federal government, overcame initial resistance due to safety and feasibility concerns under the previous administration.
  • Jeremy Skibicki, convicted in 2024 of four first-degree murders, targeted Indigenous women in vulnerable circumstances, highlighting ongoing issues of violence against Indigenous women in Canada.
