LATEST: In the ongoing search for missing 4-year-old Gus Lamont, police have made a chilling discovery. Officers confirmed they found the boy’s favorite stuffed animal — a worn teddy bear — lying abandoned 20 kilometers from his home.
What makes the find even more alarming is that inside the stuffed toy, investigators uncovered a hidden object. Authorities have not yet disclosed what it is, but sources say the discovery could be a critical breakthrough in unraveling what happened to Gus.
Detectives are now working to determine how the teddy bear ended up so far from the child’s neighborhood, and whether the concealed item points to abduction, or to someone deliberately planting evidence.
The investigation remains urgent, with police urging the public to report any sightings of suspicious individuals or vehicles in the area.
