Police resume Gus Lamont search 165 days after he vanished

Authorities are revisiting the isolated South Australian residence of missing four-year-old Gus Lamont, more than 160 days after he was last seen, in a renewed effort to uncover clues about his disappearance.

Today, South Australia Police have made their way back to the Lamont family’s Oak Park Station homestead to further their investigation.

This property is situated approximately 43 kilometers south of Yunta, South Australia.

Members of Task Force Horizon are set to comb through various sites on the estate to find any evidence connected to Gus’s missing person case.

The police department has stated they will release more information as their probe progresses.

Authorities have consistently maintained that Gus’s parents are not considered suspects in the case.

No evidence of Gus has been uncovered despite extensive searches of the property, which Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke said has been the “largest and most intensive” missing person search ever undertaken by SA Police.
