‘Buried’: Cops’ Gus Theory Revealed
Josie Murray says the four-year-old had gone missing before and denies police claims that she helped cover up his death.
- Denying involvement in the disappearance of grandson Gus Lamont, Josie Murray, 75, broke her silence on 7NEWS Spotlight Sunday, dismissing police theories that she buried the child as "ludicrous".
- Gus vanished from the family's remote Oak Park Station on September 27 last year, prompting a massive search; police now consider family members suspects, citing "inconsistencies" in timelines and accusing some of withdrawing cooperation.
- Investigators dismissed a footprint Murray claimed to find on the dam, while police maintain no physical evidence was located during 11 large-scale searches spanning approximately 470 square kilometres of the outback station.
- Solicitors for the family stated they have "cooperated fully with the investigation and want nothing more than to find Gus," though police maintain it is "not appropriate" to discuss ongoing proceedings.
- Task Force Horizon continues to investigate all information as the case remains one of South Australia's most baffling unsolved missing person mysteries despite intensive searches involving specialist technology.
