‘Freshly laid cement’: Major update in search for Gus Lamont

  • Yesterday, Task Force Horizon detectives returned to Oak Park Station for a fresh two-day search focused on a neighbouring family property about 30 kilometres west, expected to end today.
  • Earlier this month police declared the disappearance a major crime after identifying a suspect who is not one of Gus's parents and followed fresh leads including areas where fresh cement had been laid.
  • Search teams used a cadaver dog from New South Wales and helicopters deployed from Peterborough Aerodrome to check AI-identified mine shafts and Pualco Range Conservation Park.
  • No evidence linked to Gus was found at the sites, investigators say; Josie Murray, 75-year-old grandmother, was charged with firearms offences unrelated to the disappearance and is due in Peterborough Magistrates Court on May 6.
  • It has been 143 days since Gus Lamont was reported missing from Oak Park Station; Josie Murray and Shannon Murray, grandparents, said they were `absolutely devastated` while police use AI mapping and a cadaver dog from NSW.
