Summary
- Gus Lamont vanished from his grandparents' farm on September 27.

- Extensive searches have covered vast areas but found no trace of Gus.

The case of Gus Lamont, missing since September 27 from a remote sheep farm in South Australia, has been reclassified as a major crime by police. Authorities no longer believe the four-year-old simply wandered off from his grandparents' property, Oak Park Station, near Yunta.
Taskforce Horizon, established after his disappearance, has identified significant inconsistencies in the events surrounding Gus's last known moments. While his parents are not considered suspects, his grandparents' legal representation has been noted as no arrests have been made.
