Year on from disappearance, no answers in Gus Lamont case as reward announced
One year after four-year-old Gus Lamont vanished from a South Australian station, authorities announced a $1 million reward with no new leads.
Little Gus Lamont vanished on September 27, 2025, while playing outside his family's homestead on Oak Park station near Yunta, about 360 kilometres north of Adelaide. Gus Lamont's disappearance sparked what is believed to be South Australia's largest search operation.
Yet after twelve months no clues have emerged. Gus Lamont's parents, Josh Lamont and Jess Murray, have endured a year of missed milestones.
These include their youngest child's first birthday and the birthday Gus would have celebrated turning five. Speaking on camera for the first time this week, his mother described the heartbreak of having no answers.
This week police and the state government unveiled a $1 million reward. The reward is for information that could crack the case.
They timed the move close to the anniversary when attention returns to missing-children cases.
