- His body has not been found after 11 searches.
- His parents continue to appeal for information.

## Summary

Four-year-old Gus Lamont disappeared from his grandparents’ remote sheep station in South Australia on 27 September 2025. An unnamed police insider says investigators believe Gus died accidentally and that his body was buried, but fear the vast, remote terrain may make the theory impossible to prove; this remains an investigative theory, and Gus’s grandmother denies involvement.

Police have publicly said they are considering accidental death, murder or abduction, and suspect a relative was involved, while saying Gus’s parents are not people of interest. Officers have searched Oak Park Station and nearby land and waterways 11 times without finding him. Gus’s parents have appealed for information, while his grandparents have reportedly stopped co-operating and retained separate lawyers.
