SA Police Report No Breakthrough in Gus Lamont Case, Consider Return to Outback Station

The update signals the case stays open as investigators weigh fresh field work.

Overview

  • Commissioner Grant Stevens said Monday there were no new updates on the investigation, and the Major Crime taskforce continues its work.
  • Stevens said officers may return to Oak Park Station at some point in the future, though no date has been set.
  • Detectives declared the disappearance a major crime in February and identified a resident of the station as a suspect, while ruling out Gus’s parents.
  • Large searches across the 60,000-hectare property used drones, helicopters, mounted officers, ground crews and Indigenous trackers, and confirmed only one footprint about 500 metres from the homestead.
  • Gus’s parents and grandmother have pleaded for information as the small Yunta community, with fewer than 100 people, continues to grapple with the unresolved case.
