Apparently the suspect died in "an unrelated incident" and "a search of the suspect's phone after his death led police to believe Trottier's remains were at the landfill. GPS data from garbage trucks was then used to determine what area of the landfill to search."

I wonder if this suspect was known to MacKenzie prior to her murder, and if it was the same person caught on surveillance video with her.

Poor girl, she had her entire life ahead of her. It's just not fair.

''Trottier was 22 years old when she was last seen leaving her home on Trent Crescent on Dec. 21, 2020. Last year, police shared a photo, a composite sketch and a video of a man they believed had information on Trottier’s disappearance.

Police said a suspect in Trottier’s disappearance had been identified, but died of a drug overdose before enough evidence to prove their involvement could be obtained. Police said the suspect and Trottier knew each other, but noted that the now-deceased suspect will not be identified publicly.''

I wonder if there were any other victims, or if this was what police call "an isolated incident."

Saw this on my local news tonight. Very sad! And because the suspect is dead there will never be any earthly justice for Mackenzies death.

It was data from the man’s cellphone that pointed investigators to the landfill, the officer said.

“We were able to observe his search engine, so some of his common searches around that time when Mackenzie went missing was, ‘When’s the next garbage pickup?’” Lenius said.

“We were also able to be 100 per cent sure that he didn’t leave his residence at all during that crucial time that she went missing.”

Police estimate about 5,000 tonnes of waste was sorted through in the search for Trottier. Some of her remains were found July 30, and the rest of her remains were discovered Thursday.

McBride said an estimated $1.5 million was spent on the landfill search. Police have asked for funding support from the federal and provincial governments, he added.
