WINNIPEG — Manitoba says it has officially decommissioned the search site at a Winnipeg-area landfill where the remains of two slain First Nations women were found last year.

The province says the final cost of the seven-month search at the Prairie Green landfill came to $18.4 million.

It had been estimated to take up to three years and cost as much as $184 million.

After the remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran were discovered, the search moved to Winnipeg’s Brady Road landfill for another victim.
