Gus Lamont: Police return to Oak Park Station as they continue search for evidence on boy’s disappearance

Police have returned to the last place little Gus Lamont was seen before he went missing in September, in the hope of turning up vital evidence.

On Wednesday, South Australia Police revealed officers were once again at Oak Park Station as they continued the investigation into the mysterious disappearance of the four-year-old.

“Task Force Horizon members will be searching several locations on the property for evidence in the case,” a police statement read.

“An update will be provided as the investigations continue.”

Gus’ disappearance was declared a major crime in early February after exhaustive searches failed to find any clues as to his whereabouts.

He was last seen on September 27 at Oak Park Station, his family’s Yunta property.

Police were told that at 5.30pm when his grandmother tried to call him inside, the boy had vanished.

On February 5, detective superintendent Darren Fielke confirmed that investigators “don’t believe, now, that Gus is alive”.

“This is one of three investigation options that have been explored by the members attached to Taskforce Horizon,” he said.

“The other two investigation options are focused on Gus being abducted (by an unknown person) from Oak Park Station, or whether someone known to him was involved in his disappearance and suspected death.”

His parents have been ruled out as being involved in his disappearance.

In the weeks following his disappearance, a 94 sq km radius around the Oak Park Station property was scoured by all available emergency services, SES, the ADF, and an army of volunteers in addition to aerial searches conducted by drones and helicopters.
