Police Return to Remote South Australia Property as Gus Lamont Case Shifts to Presumed Death

Investigators say there is no evidence of third-party involvement.

Overview

  • Officers revisited the Yunta-area sheep station to speak with family members and document the homestead as part of the ongoing inquiry.
  • Authorities scaled back a week-long operation that covered roughly 500 square kilometres of the 60,000-hectare property using aircraft, drones, dogs, divers and ground teams.
  • The only physical lead remains a single footprint found about 500 metres from where the four-year-old was last seen near 5pm on September 27.
  • Police assess the disappearance as not suspicious and believe the child likely wandered from the remote property.
  • Community members left porch lights on to support the family, as friends publicly urged people to stop sharing harmful conspiracy theories and respect the family’s privacy.
