Morgan Beatrice Harris, of Long Plain First Nation, was 39 when she was killed in 2022. Her remains, and those of Marcedes Myran, 26, also of Long Plain, were believed to have been dumped at the Prairie Green Landfill just north of Winnipeg. On the night of Friday, March 7, 2025, the Manitoba government announced that Harris had been found.
Manitoba RCMP had confirmed that human remains found in the Prairie Green Landfill search were hers, the province said in a bulletin, and her family had been notified. The government asked that the family's privacy be respected. Her remains were one of two sets recovered in the search. The second set had not yet been identified, and ChrisD.ca reported that it had not been confirmed as Myran's. "As facts are confirmed, relevant authorities will provide further information," the bulletin said.
The search was a humanitarian search and recovery mission that the Manitoba government began at the request of the Harris and Myran families. It was run with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and with the support of the federal government.
"We found my mother," Cambria Harris posted online after the announcement. "Please keep our families in your hearts tonight and every day going forward as we trust this process."
Jeremy Skibicki was convicted in the summer of 2024 of first-degree murder in the 2022 killings of four women: Harris; Myran; Rebecca Contois, 24; and a woman who had not been identified, whom an Indigenous grassroots community has named Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe, or Buffalo Woman.
The government's bulletin of March 7, 2025, gives the identification and the search's background only. The women's ages, the conviction and Cambria Harris's words come from ChrisD.ca's report that evening.
