It’s a case that sparked protests, made national headlines and may have swung a provincial election. And it’s about to head to trial. You probably know it best for the fight over whether or not police would search Winnipeg’s Prairie Green landfill — but at its core this story is about vulnerable women and the system that forgot them.
As Jeremy Skibicki’s trial begins this month, the landfill search has not. Why not? How did the alleged killer find his victims, and why was he free to find them in the first place? What will we learn about the connections between the women and Skibicki and could this all have been prevented?
