Saskatoon police are scheduled to provide an update on a search of the city landfill for the remains of a young woman missing since 2020.

Mackenzie Lee Trottier was 22-years-old when she was last seen leaving her father Paul Trottier’s home on Dec. 21, 2020.

Police initiated the meticulous search in May, after electronic devices seized over the years of investigation led them — aided by GPS on city garbage trucks — to a specific area of the landfill 10 metres wide and one metre deep.

With the aid of cadaver dogs and a forensic anthropologist, police have combed the site for months.

Now, police are preparing to provide an update on the investigation.

Chief Cameron McBride, Staff Sergeant Corey Lenius, and forensic anthropologist Dr. Ernie Walker are scheduled to address the media and answer questions on Tuesday at 11 a.m.
