Shingoose went missing in March 2022. Her DNA turned up on a jacket that police located online. According to police, new information was provided in December 2024 that helped make a “preliminary identification” of an unidentified woman given the name Mashkode Bizihiki’ Ikwe or Buffalo Woman. “To make a positive identification, specific evidence seized during the investigation was sent for DNA analysis to determine whether the known DNA of the possible victim could be located on the seized items.  On March 24, 2025, the results came back identifying Ashlee Christine Shingoose, 30 years of age, of St. Theresa Point Anisininew Nation as the unidentified victim known as Buffalo Woman.” Police said that support services travelled to her home community of St. Theresa Point Anisininew Nation to provide the information to her family and the community directly. “The Winnipeg Police Service has reached out to leadership from the City of Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba to start the discussions on a humanitarian search for the remains of Ashlee Shingoose,” the police statement said. “We are early in the discussions in terms of what a search would look like, but the Winnipeg Police Service is supportive of a search being undertaken and is committed to being part of those efforts.” Red handprints and a red dress are painted on a Brady Road landfill sign.
