A search has started at Prairie Green Landfill for the remains of two victims of a serial killer.

The Manitoba government announced on Wednesday that search efforts are now underway to find the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran.

Amna Mackin, the project management lead for the landfill search, said the building where the search will happen is almost finished, with the facility being erected in the coming weeks.

Temporary trailers for the workers will also be on site next week.

The government noted "materials above the targeted zone at the landfill" are being moved so crews are ready to dig down.

At the end of September, it was announced the government had started the process of hiring workers to help with the search and said Wednesday that recruitment is ongoing.

"We've received significant interest from applicants with relevant experience, and interviews are currently in progress. We've also identified personnel for a number of other key roles," said Mackin.
