Saskatoon police say they have found Mackenzie Lee Trottier’s remains at the Saskatoon landfill after months of searching.

Trottier, then 22, went missing in December 2020. The search for her body at the landfill began on May 1 and extended well beyond the initial 33-day timeframe.

Police Chief Cameron McBride said at a news conference Tuesday that searchers recovered partial remains on July 30 and then made the full recovery on Aug. 1.

He said an autopsy was performed and the cause of death is still undetermined, but the coroner will continue investigating.
