SASKATOON — Police are planning to search a Saskatoon landfill for a woman who has been missing for almost four years. 

Mackenzie Lee Trottier was last seen in December 2020.

Police say a substantial amount of data was collected late last year that identifies a specific area of the landfill that may contain evidence in the investigation.

The search will cover an area of about 930 cubic metres at a depth of one metre.

The search, which is to include dogs from the RCMP and Calgary police, is expected to begin next month and last 33 days.
