The Manitoba government has announced the completion of stage three in the ongoing search for the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran at the Prairie Green Landfill.
The fourth stage officially started on Dec. 2.
Stage three involved the careful displacement of 18,900 cubic metres of waste within the cells where remains are believed to be, to reveal the targeted zone. Stage four is the search of the targeted zone, which includes 20,300 cubic metres of waste from an estimated date range of May 9 to May 21, 2022.
The search facility building has been fully constructed and all necessary permits have been obtained. Last week, employee training was completed, while mental health support services have been implemented. Additionally, protective equipment fittings and other crucial safety measures for staff have also been finalized.
A ceremony with the premier and families of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran was held on Sunday, Dec. 1 at the Prairie Green Landfill to mark the critical step in the search process.
