Winnipeg police defend decision to not search landfill for Indigenous women’s remains
Winnipeg police have released more details about their decision to not search a landfill for the remains of two Indigenous women believed to have been the victims of a serial killer as family of one of the women shared their disappointment at Parliament Hill.
Harris said officers sat down with her this week and shared a presentation outlining the reasons the search is unfeasible. He was charged last week with the other three killings, although police have not found their bodies. Police said they do not have a definitive location of the remains of Buffalo Woman.
In the case of the Brady Road landfill, refuse is not compacted, police were able to secure the site within hours of finding Contois’ partial remains and they weren’t working against other remains and hazardous minerals. Police were also able to rely on GPS tracking in garbage trucks and heavy equipment at the landfill.
He added that given the compacting and the passage of time, any human remains might not be discernible from animal remains.
