Gus Lamont's grandparents 'devastated' after missing boy case declared major crime

Police named a household resident as suspect after uncovering key inconsistencies; the search included 163 officers and spanned 95 square km, officials said.

  • Police have declared the disappearance of a four-year-old boy in the South Australian outback a major crime and identified a resident of the property as a suspect, but the boy's parents are not under investigation.
  • Investigators initially considered three scenarios- the boy walked off, he was abducted, or someone known to him was involved in his disappearance and suspected death.
  • Given the remote location and lack of evidence of wandering or abduction, a person who resides at the property has withdrawn cooperation with the police.
