Police Swoop on Property in Search for Gus Lamont
Major Crime detectives and specialist officers are searching numerous locations for evidence after heavy rain may have exposed new clues.
- On Tuesday, South Australia Police confirmed they are returning to Oak Park Station in Yunta to search for missing four-year-old Gus Lamont, resuming efforts to take advantage of opportunities created by recent heavy rains on the property.
- Gus was last seen playing on a dirt mound at Oak Park Station on September 27, 2025; initially treated as a wandering case, his disappearance was declared a major crime months later with a household suspect identified.
- Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke said the investigation has been the 'largest and most intensive' missing person search undertaken by SA Police, with officers pumping 3.2 million litres from a dam and searching mine shafts across more than 700 square kilometres.
- Major Crime detectives and specialist STAR Group officers will conduct the three-day search, while SA Police have repeatedly stated Gus's parents are not suspects and continue cooperating; a person with close ties to the household allegedly withdrew cooperation and has been identified as a suspect.
- Heavy rains that delivered 129mm to Yunta on March 1 prompted police to believe new evidence opportunities may have emerged, with investigators urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers as the search continues.
