The search of Brady Road landfill for the remains of a First Nations woman who was the first victim of a Winnipeg serial killer began Monday.

Premier Wab Kinew said staff will search for Ashlee Shingoose in the south end landfill, and later mount a search there for Tanya Nepinak, who went missing in September 2011 at 31 years old.

Kinew said he held a ceremony with Shingoose’s parents and sister at the landfill Monday morning.
