Search for Missing Gus to Resume Again in Remote SA
The search by South Australia Police and Australian Defence Force expands to new areas after an extensive initial effort failed to locate the four-year-old missing since September 27.
- On Tuesday, South Australia Police and the Australian Defence Force will resume searching Oak Park Station, focusing on an expanded area outside previously searched zones.
- The four-year-old Gus Lamont vanished from his grandparents' remote homestead, Oak Park Station, on September 27 and was last seen at about 5pm playing near the house; he is believed to have wandered from the family sheep station about 40km south of Yunta.
- Authorities mobilised one of the state's biggest search efforts with police, SES volunteers, emergency services and the Australian Defence Force but found only one footprint 500 metres from the grandparents' home.
- Officials earlier scaled back the search to recovery, but South Australia Police say they remain in close contact with the Lamont family and will not close the case.
- Misinformation online has complicated the investigation, including a fake post shared over 24,000 times claiming an unverified sighting about 100km from Yunta, while a print near a dam was confirmed unrelated on October 7.
