Elle Harris thought she might be ready when the news came, but when it did her heart fell and all she could think was “I want my mom.”

Her mom, Morgan Harris, is one of two women whose remains were believed to be at the Prairie Green landfill north of Winnipeg, after they were killed in May 2022 and left in dumpsters by Jeremy Skibicki.

After a long fight to search the landfill for their remains, work started in December.

And on Wednesday, the families of Harris, who was 39, and Marcedes Myran, 26, were notified that possible human remains had been found.
