Detectives Return to Oak Park Station in Ongoing Search for Missing Gus Lamont

Detectives took new statements from the family, keeping all avenues open.

Overview

  • Police confirmed a visit to the remote property south of Yunta last week, with the family continuing to cooperate with investigators.
  • Major Crime chief Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke said investigators are exploring every possibility, stating that nothing is off the table and they will not rest.
  • Extensive land and air operations spanning nearly 500 square kilometres have found no trace of the four-year-old despite efforts by police, emergency services, the defence force, and volunteers.
  • Specialist teams inspected six mine shafts about 40 kilometres south of Yunta in November and a dam on the station was drained in October, but both lines of inquiry yielded no results.
  • Active search operations were suspended late last year, although the investigation remains active and police continue to check in with the family.
