The search for Gus is going nowhere. Police said they have found no evidence in its latest search for missing boy Gus Lamont, who was reported missing on September 27. Detectives recently inspected a water tank and an outhouse where cement had recently been laid during the latest two-day search.
SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said, "I think it’s reasonably foreseeable that we will be visiting Oak Park quite frequently over the coming months as we continue our investigation as well as visiting surrounding locations in the vicinity of the residence."
Today, 5th February 2026, South Australian police declared the disappearance of 4-year-old, Gus Lamont a major crime.
At an update on the case, Major Crime officer in charge Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke said police had explored three "investigation options". They are that Gus had walked off from Oak Park Station, where he lived, that he was abducted or that someone known to him was involved in his disappearance and suspected death.
