Overview
- South Australia Police scaled back field operations last week, said survival is unlikely, and transferred management to the Missing Persons Section within Major Crime.
- Grandparent Josie Murray said “We’re still looking for him” and declined outside help, as neighbors asked would‑be volunteers to stay away.
- Gus’s father, Joshua Lamont, was seen publicly for the first time since the disappearance and joined at least one night search, with his home two hours from Oak Park.
- The only trace reported is a footprint about 500 meters from the homestead, which police and experienced trackers have questioned, and some searchers doubt the boy remains on the property.
- Self‑described psychics have posted videos claiming insights into the case on social media, adding to online speculation surrounding the family.
