The remains of Rebecca Contois, one of the women Skibicki is alleged to have killed, were discovered in the Brady Road Landfill earlier this year, while WPS said they believe the remains of victims Morgan Harris and Mercedes Myran are now in the Prairie Green Landfill near Stony Mountain. “Our women have been disappearing since the 1970s and even further back, and many believe that the landfills are where they are ending up, so it’s sad because it’s like they are being dumped like trash, but our women are not trash,” he said.
