Overview
- Josh and Jess Lamont released a new photo and short video of their four-year-old son and urged anyone with information to contact police.
- The police-released video shows Gus wearing a wide-brimmed grey felt hat that 7NEWS reports may be the same hat he wore when he vanished.
- Investigators have reclassified the case as a major crime and say they believe someone known to Gus was responsible after ruling out wandering off or abduction.
- A large multi-agency search across hundreds of square kilometres has found no trace of the boy or his belongings, with a single footprint the only confirmed clue.
- Detectives seized a vehicle, a motorcycle and electronic devices during forensic searches, and a 75-year-old grandparent was charged with firearm offences that police say are unrelated to the disappearance.
