South Australia Police are expected to make a huge announcement today in the search for missing toddler Gus Lamont.
Officer in Charge of Major Crime, Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke, will hold a press conference at 1pm local time (2pm AEDT).
Gus was last seen at his grandparents’ homestead at Oak Park Station, 40km south of Yunta, on September 27.
August ‘Gus’ Lamont was under the care of his grandmother Shannon Murray as his mother Jessica and grandparent Josie tended to their herd of sheep 10km away.
According to police, Gus’ grandmother Shannon was the last person to see the four-year-old, when he was playing in the sand outside the family homestead at 5pm.
When she went to call him inside at 5.30pm, he was gone.
The family reported Gus’ disappearance to police three hours later.
Multiple land, air and waterway searches have failed to find the boy, and police believe he wandered off into the difficult terrain surrounding Oak Park.
There is little hope he will be found alive.
