‘Wildlife’: New theory emerges as police expand search for Gus​

Former homicide squad detective Gary Jubelin believes “wildlife” could be a factor in the Gus Lamont case after police announced they would be resuming the search for the missing four-year-old on Monday

But yet last Wednesday Gary was of the opinion another person was involved

William Tyrrell lead detective weighs in

Former homicide squad detective Gary Jubelin is also of the opinion that another person is involved in the Gus Lamont case.

Mr Jubelin said that the fact police were looking at third-person intervention was a learning lesson from the William Tyrrell investigation, in which he said the “whole focus was on finding the little boy lost”.

“Children disappearing at that age is a rare event,” he told Nine’s Today show on Wednesday.

“What police would be looking for is, has the disappearance been the result of wandering off, misadventure and getting lost, or is there some form of intervention involved in his disappearance?

“What I’m seeing now and what I’m reading between the lines of what South Australian Police (are doing), they’re looking at other possibilities that there was perhaps intervention. So it’s difficult for the families involved and even for the police.”

"He believes
police are now looking 'further afield' for the sake of completeness,
including the possibility that Gus was taken by an animal.

'Police would be considering
whether young Gus disappeared through misadventure,
wandered off,
or whether there was some form of intervention
— either human or,
given the nature of the land out there,
possibly wildlife',
Mr Jubelin said.

'Things can be missed
— minute things can be missed'.

Pictured is the initial search."

Moo...there was a child..Darius..that went missing at an Alberta campground recently. He does have a WS thread. When the reality of his survival ended...so did the search.
There was not much info on family and he is probably in search area, but not found. But there was not the theory that the family was hiding something. Children do go missing, they are hard to find.
Searchers are adults, they do not see the world from the much shorter height of a child. Children do hid, and curl into fetal position when scared or hurt. Which complicates finding them....moo

This whole case is just so heartbreaking. That a little boy is just out there, left to the elements. I can't stop thinking about it.

SA Police launches Taskforce Horizon as search for missing 4yo Gus Lamont resumes in Yunta​

SA Police boss Grant Stevens has announced the formation of Taskforce Horizon, a team dedicated to finding Gus Lamont as the search resumes for the missing four year old.

Paraphrased

SA Police commissioner Grant Stevens announced the formation of Taskforce Horizon, he said on FIVEAA on Tuesday morning that the resumption of the search was not due to new suspicion of foul play

He says the family are co-operating with police , they have nothing to suggest foul play , but are obligated to consider every possibility

Efforts are focused on comprehensively searching the property, and we’re endeavouring to recover Gus for his family.

Reinforced the search was a recovery operation.

80 ADF personnel up on the property this morning being co-ordinated by field search controllers that are police officers with South Australia Police

Mr Stevens told FIVEAA more than 470sq km had been searched, equivalent to the land area of 109 Adelaide CBDs.

I believe that is old footage IMO

If the evidence shows that Gus did not leave the property in a vehicle, then asking the public for information is futile and can create a huge headache for investigators. People will report that he's been seen in Germany, England, California ...

Thank you!

So, not very far.

I read somewhere they searched a 5.5 km radius.
Gus could’ve walked 6km , lay down to rest /sleep and then possibly been taken by an animal

In the first of the four photos above, what is that thing to the left of the house,on a stand?
Is it a water tank, grain silo, or something else?

I was actually wondering if media will attend but stay on Oak Park Road and use their drones for coverage.

I hope so

 

[Lady-J]

Do we know his birthdate (I'll scramble back to the missing poster and check) -- is he on the 3 side of 4 or the 5 side?

I haven’t seen his d.o.b .
He could be an August baby, hence his name, which makes him recently age four.

Taskforce Horizon consists of 12 specialists who will analyse information and suggest different areas to search.

The results from the thermal drone cameras were yet to be analysed but Stevens admitted police were not hopeful it would yield any information.

Stevens said the ongoing search will be coordinated "like any other police operation".
He told reporters there is nothing to suggest foul play in Gus' disappearance.

Can’t wait to see what the police have to say on the news tonight. Hope they find him.

Seems more likely at this stage that Gus has wandered further than first thought <modsnip: Not victim friendly>

The chances of someone turning up at Oak Park Station in the middle of nowhere in the first 15 minutes after the grandmother went inside , taking Gus and driving off in time for the dust to settle are very slim. Especially if the sandpit and Gus were not visible from Oak Park Road.


Does anyone know if the sandpit can be seen from the road?


The family would have definitely been thoroughly questioned by now and there would be cracks if the families version of events for the day Gus went missing didn’t align or their stories changed slightly

I agree but it also seems unlikely to me a 4 year old would walk 6kms + away from his property right as it was getting dark. Its a very odd case that's for sure.

It sure is baffling .

I have a stupid question. What do you do on a sheep station when there aren't any sheep? How do you earn an income and generate enough expendable income to live?

(I'm not a sheep farm girlie so humour me...)

I know very little about sheep but in my younger years (BC) I worked seasonally on a meat cattle farm in NSW. The owner had around 500 acres but there were also nearby cattle farms that were no longer worked (tree changers mostly or weekenders). He leased a couple of those farms as did the dairy nearby. The farms still had all their infrastructure but we never used it as it wasnt so far to the owners farm but out on a station in SA the distances are far greater so its possible someone leased the land and maybe used the farm facilities from time to time. Also possible that those people do not need to use the front gate. Just a thought.

Yes I seen it mentioned in one of the many articles that he had no long turned 4.

Looks like an old water tank on a stand

 

[spiritualdreaming]

How many kms is it from the homestead to shearing/yards?

I am sure the Police know more than they're letting on
