Police and grieving families believe two victims of an alleged serial killer are buried at Prairie Green Landfill. The Globe asked forensics experts, who saw hope that the right techniques could unearth answers
By the time he was charged in the deaths of Ms. Harris and Ms. Myran, the accused, 35-year-old Jeremy Skibicki, was already in police custody for allegedly killing another Indigenous woman, Rebecca Contois.
Landfills are divided into what are known as cells. The first step in a search is to narrow the field down to the cell that was in use around the time of the killing. The Indigenous-led working group has said it has done just that. It noted in an update released on Jan. 24 that the cell believed to contain the women’s remains had not been used since June. That means searchers would have only about one month’s worth of debris to dig through.
there and June 20, when they determined the remains were likely at the site. That debris was then compacted and buried under 9,000 tonnes of construction clay. In 2002, an investigator watches dirt come off a conveyor belt at an excavation of the Pickton farm in Port Coquitlam, B.C.During the Pickton farm search, Dr. Rogers said, her team used a machine called a Grizzly, essentially a large vibrating sieve, to sift through 24,000 dump-truck loads of dirt and rocks. Sorted materials were then sent along a conveyor belt, with at least six technicians on each side picking out any suspicious items for further inspection.
A search like this would not be particularly high-tech. But it would take a lot of detailed, tedious work, which would be expensive. Dr. Fulginiti said landfill searches she has been involved in have resulted in injuries, respiratory issues and, in one case, an early retirement. The presence of asbestos is important to consider and prepare for, she said, and requires expensive protective gear for searchers.
“Those were the searchers. They weren’t general police officers. They’re going to need people who have a vested interest and really know what they’re looking for.”
