19 Feb
Summary
- Grandmother Josie Murray has a previously unknown, distinguished family history.
- Gus Lamont vanished from his home in South Australia in September.
- Police are investigating inconsistencies and have a person of interest.
Josie Murray, the grandmother of missing child Gus Lamont, has a previously undisclosed background of distinction. Her mother received a Medal of the Order of Australia for community service, and her father was a celebrated war hero. Gus disappeared in September from Oak Park Station in South Australia, with extensive searches yielding no trace.
Authorities are now investigating Gus's disappearance as a major crime. While Gus's parents are not suspects, police have identified a person of interest living at the property due to timeline inconsistencies. Investigators searched the homestead and seized electronic devices and vehicles.
Josie Murray, who lives at Oak Park Station, was recently arrested and charged with an unrelated weapons offense. She is scheduled to appear in court on May 6. The investigation into Gus Lamont's vanishing continues, with the focus on the property and its occupants.
