Winnipeg police have concluded their exhaustive investigation into serial killer Jeremy Skibicki, stating they do not believe there are any more undiscovered victims. The probe, one of the most complex in the department’s history, involved thousands of hours of surveillance review and an in-depth examination of Skibicki’s entire life.
Skibicki was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder last July after targeting vulnerable First Nations women at homeless shelters. His victims, killed between March and May 2022, were recently confirmed to include Ashlee Shingoose, 30, previously identified as Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe. Also murdered were Morgan Harris, 39, Marcedes Myran, 26, and Rebecca Contois, 24.
Authorities relied on a December 2023 interview with Skibicki and new DNA evidence to confirm Shingoose’s identity. A pair of pants, among 5,000 seized items, provided the breakthrough, making this case one of the most extensive forensic efforts in Canada.
Experts note Skibicki represents the modern serial killer profile, with a history of violence against women and hate-based motivations. The killings were carried out in a short timeframe, a trend seen in modern serial cases due to improved law enforcement technology.
Despite the thorough investigation, police acknowledge absolute certainty is impossible, but they found no evidence of additional victims. Manitoba’s premier has pledged to search the Brady Road landfill for Shingoose’s remains.
