4-year-old Gus Lamont went missing on September 27, at a remote sheep farm station when he was playing outside.
Gus Lamont went missing at a sheep station near Yunta, Australia about 186 miles from Adelaide, around 5pm after his grandmother was said to have left for only around half an hour. For the next three hours after his grandmother didn’t find him his family helped search around the sheep station till calling the police as the sun was setting at around eight o’clock. His grandmother reported that he was last seen in a blue shirt with a minion character on it, light grey long pants and a grey hat. 18 officers, 82 Australian defense form members and 7 volunteers. On day three of the search a camera helicopter got deployed to look around from up top. This went on for the next three weeks. By their second week of searching they died down on searching before restarting it that Tuesday. By their third week they haven’t found any traces of him.
Police say they don’t think there was any foul play and that since the terrain is so urged, harsh, and as well as the weather changing a lot. The SA police commissioner Grant Stevens said” There is nothing to suggest foul play, our focus is largely on an exhaustive search of the property on the basis that Gus wandered off and we’re hopeful that we can find him and return him to his family.
While the criminologist on this case said with this type of terrain he should’ve been easily to locate if he has simply wandered off. Between the different statements from the police to the climatologist there has been wild theories about foul play in the family which could’ve led to the disappearance of Gus Lamont.
