South Australian Police are updating the case of four-year-old Gus Lamont, missing nearly a year from an outback property.
Gus Lamont went missing from Oak Park Station, a large property near Yunta in South Australia's outback, on 27 September 2025. He was four years old.
South Australian Police are holding a press conference today about the investigation, described as the first significant update in months. The case was declared a major crime in February.
