BREAKING — Investigators today announced the most unsettling discovery since Gus Lamont vanished: one of his sneakers was found nearly 3 kilometers from the original search radius, tucked deep in a patch of low shrubs as if someone had deliberately tossed it there to mislead the search teams.
But what froze the entire team wasn’t the location — it was the dark, almost tar-colored stain inside the shoe. At first, officers believed it was mud or oil. Only after the shoe was taken to the lab did technicians confirm the truth: the stain was human blood, heavily dried, and at least several hours old before the shoe was discovered.
The DNA results came back at 2:14 PM — and the room reportedly went silent.
→ The blood was a full match to Gus Lamont.
There were no tears, no major impact marks, and no visible signs of struggle on the shoe itself. Investigators described the finding as “inconsistent with any normal injury scenario.” Even more disturbing, no traces of blood were found on the ground or foliage leading to the shoe’s location, as if it had been placed there long after the blood had already dried.
Even stranger: Gus’s other shoe has not been located, and the direction of the find is opposite from where Gus was last seen heading.
Sources close to the investigation say this strongly suggests that someone — or something — moved the shoe after the blood had dried, though the reason for taking only one shoe remains a mystery. Equally baffling is the complete absence of foreign footprints or drag marks around the site.
An internal source hinted that a second report, involving “an unusual substance found on the sole of the shoe,” will be released within the next 24 hours, but declined to provide details.
The disappearance of Gus Lamont has now shifted into a far darker, far stranger phase — one that no longer resembles a simple missing-person case.
