HEARTBREAKING UPDATE: Police have just confirmed the discovery of a small piece of blue cloth with visible blood stains, found caught on a fence roughly 17 kilometers from the site where 6-year-old Gus Lamont disappeared.
According to investigators, the fabric fragment was spotted by a volunteer search team late yesterday afternoon. It appeared partially torn, as if pulled by force, and was immediately sealed and sent to the state forensic lab for urgent DNA analysis. Officers worked overnight, hoping the results would finally shed light on Gus’s whereabouts.
This morning, police received the report — and the result was a confirmed DNA match to Gus Lamont. Detectives say this is the first physical evidence directly linked to the missing child since the day he vanished. The area surrounding the fence has now been completely cordoned off as forensic teams continue to comb the ground for additional traces.
Authorities described the finding as “a painful but crucial step” in understanding what may have happened to Gus. Search operations have been immediately expanded in a 5-kilometer radius around the location where the cloth was found.
