Manitoba RCMP say a second set of remains found in a Winnipeg-area landfill have been identified as Marcedes Myran, who died at the hands of a serial killer in 2022.
Myran, of Long Plain First Nation, was found as part of a humanitarian search and recovery mission at Prairie Green Landfill.
The news comes after one set of remains found during a search of the landfill was confirmed earlier this month to belong to another victim, Morgan Harris.
The government says Myran’s family has been notified.
A search of the landfill began in December for Harris and Myran, and the government announced in late February that possible remains had been discovered.
Jeremy Skibicki was convicted last summer of first-degree murder in the 2022 slayings of four women.
Skibicki was convicted in the killings of Harris, 39; Myran, 26; Rebecca Contois, 24; and an unidentified woman an Indigenous grassroots community has named Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe, or Buffalo Woman.
