Jeremy Skibicki

A judge convicted Jeremy Skibicki last month of first-degree murder in the 2022 slayings, which put another spotlight on the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada.

The road at Winnipeg's well-known downtown intersection ran red as protesters gathered to call out government inaction on searching a landfill for the remains of two First Nations women.

In 2002, investigators started a massive search of Robert Pickton's pig farm in British Columbia and eventually found the remains of several women. 

Calls from the daughters of a slain Indigenous woman to bring her remains home from a landfill that police in Winnipeg won't search turned into a rallying cry on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, to end the violence against their women and girls.
