Police End Two-Day Search in Gus Lamont Case With No New Clues as Grandmother Faces Unrelated Firearms Charges

Investigators plan frequent returns to Oak Park with focus on a resident who withdrew cooperation.

Overview

  • Task Force Horizon concluded a two-day evidence search at Oak Park Station and adjoining family properties without locating material linked to the four-year-old’s disappearance.
  • Teams inspected an outhouse with freshly laid concrete and a water tank, searched mine shafts, and used an interstate cadaver dog and a police helicopter, but no evidence was found.
  • SA Police arrested a 75-year-old from Grampus on firearms offences that investigators say are unrelated to the missing-child case, with a court appearance set for May 6.
  • Police Commissioner Grant Stevens indicated no imminent arrest is expected and said officers will likely return to Oak Park and nearby locations frequently in the coming months.
  • The investigation remains a declared major crime centered on a person residing at the property who is not the child’s parents, with previously seized items including a vehicle, a motorcycle and electronic devices undergoing forensic work.
