HEARTBREAKING UPDATE: The parents of missing four-year-old August “Gus” Lamont have just provided police with important new information regarding their son’s disappearance, prompting authorities to immediately change the direction of the search.
Police have not disclosed the exact details shared by Gus’s parents but confirmed that the new lead has shifted the focus of search teams to a different area outside the original zone near the family’s remote Yunta property. Specialist officers, sniffer dogs, and aerial units have been redeployed to follow up on this critical update.
Superintendent Mark Syrus said investigators are treating the new information with urgency, stressing that “every minute counts.” He added that while the mission remains in the “recovery phase”, any new lead is “vital and cannot be ignored.”
The Lamont family, devastated by Gus’s disappearance, expressed gratitude to the police and search crews for acting swiftly on the information. They continue to ask the public for privacy and support during this painful time.
