Australia AUSTRALIA - 4YO AUGUST (GUS) Missing from rural family home in Outback, Yunta, South Australia, 27th Sept 2025

I get it, but I keep coming back to 8 hours!!
I do wonder if it has relevance - if this aspect took so long to happen, what else may have?

Maybe, Jess tried to call Josh, but without success. Maybe, she told police about it, and perhaps police arranged some surveillance of Josh's home, before they visited him, in case, he had something to do with the disappearance of his son. Who knows. MOO, speculation.

I get that he wasn't annoyed at being woken up, he was upset about his child being missing and probably also that it took so long to be notified. I maybe didn't word it, nor this post, very well, but it's been a day.

No worries. I don't think we have a link that says the police visit was at 1:30am. Maybe it is social media rumour.

It is probably unlikely for the police to dispatch a helicopter from Adelaide at 11:30pm on a Saturday night to go to the Oak Park property if they hadn't already checked that Gus wasn't somehow with his dad.

This is the latest time for the police visit, from the DM ....

Joshua is not employed full time, but does 'odd jobs' around the state.
He was asleep when Gus vanished, and police woke him up to break the horrifying news several hours later.

Chilling theories emerge about missing boy Gus Lamont

Gus was playing in a mound of dirt at Oak Park station, under the care of his grandmother Shannon Murray as his mother Jessica and grandparent Josie were tending to their flock 10km away.

Moo..
Maybe the family knew Joshua would be very angry and just didn't want to deal with his emotions at that time. The family was probably in shock that they couldn't find Gus..moo

Unfortunately, for me it's paywalled.

I copied the entire title of the paywalled article's title, pasted that in to google, sorted through the search results, and found the article

That rings true for me. Knowing his concerns about Gus living there, perhaps there was a layer of desperation in not telling him, just yet. Find Gus first. Then tell him what happened, tempered by Gus' safe recovery.

It really underscores for me (again barring actual foul play) the family's combined belief that Gus was lost somewhere on the property and wasn't not there. Therefore, abduction, not a real concern, and as such, no thought of who might take/have him.

I really hate so greatly that if he was lost or stuck somewhere on the property then he was probably terrified as he passed.
