Police have identified Ashlee Shingoose, a 31-year-old woman from St. Theresa Point First Nation, as the fourth victim of the Winnipeg serial killer known as Buffalo Woman. A witness placed her near a homeless shelter for the last time in March 2022. Winnipeg serial killer Jeremy Skibicki was convicted of killing four Indigenous women, including Ashlee, among his victims.
DNA analysis found her connection to the jacket police found, which confirmed her identity. Law enforcement teams discovered additional victim remains, which underscore the persistent issue of violence against Indigenous women throughout Canada.
Victim Identification:
- Name: Ashlee Shingoose
- Age: Ashlee Shingoose was 31 years old when she disappeared.
- Last Seen: In March 2022, Ashlee was reportedly seen near a homeless shelter in Winnipeg. Originally called Buffalo Woman (Mashkode Bizhikiβikwe).
Circumstances of Disappearance:
- Ashlee Shingoose disappeared after meeting Jeremy Skibicki near a homeless shelter, who drove her to his apartment, where she died.
Legal Proceedings:

Earlier this year, authorities discovered Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran’s remains at a landfill near Winnipeg. Before authorities confirmed Ashlee’s identity, they located Rebecca Contois’s remains in both a garbage bin and a landfill.
