South Australia's Police Commissioner, Grant Stevens, has defended the extensive search efforts for the missing four-year-old Gus Lamont, who vanished from his family's remote sheep station over five weeks ago. Despite the prolonged search, no clues have been found, leaving Gus' family without closure.
In a recent development, Commissioner Stevens revealed that two reviews have confirmed the effectiveness of the search methods. However, the police intend to conduct a fourth search of the property, indicating a continued commitment to finding Gus.
Gus Lamont disappeared from Oak Park Station on September 27, last seen playing outside in a blue Minions shirt. The search has been one of the most intensive ever undertaken by South Australian police, involving draining a dam and searching underwater areas.
Despite these efforts, no clues have been found, and the family remains heartbroken. Commissioner Stevens assured the public that the police are still dedicated to finding Gus, with Taskforce Horizon set to return for further analysis and expert advice.
The search's scope is influenced by survivability experts' insights into how far Gus might have traveled and his survival time without support. This approach ensures a thorough investigation, aiming to provide closure for Gus' family and the community.
