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

[BreakingNews]

Transient camps on the property? I don't think so. We've heard and seen nothing to indicate that. So...no.

As far as Bob goes, reading the transcript and assuming he's sincere, I'm writing it off as a comment made by someone who has probably lost touch with reality ( could be temporary, could be characteristic, who knows). Also, he may be a local, but what he actually says is that he's in Adelaide. I think he means that he lives there. Jmo

I could speculate as to what's going on with him but that seems kinda pointless. Perhaps he's just become over invested in Gus' disappearance and cannot face the reality of the situation. He wouldn't be the first person to find themselves in that position. You just have to check out social media for that. Moo

Yep I'm an Australian but my views on Bob don't have much if anything to do with with my nationality. Bob, moo, is in deep denial or has some other psychological blockage which is affecting his ability to reality check. Moo

But he got both his questions correct

I'm still with you @BreakingNews.

You are the only one here who heard Bob, live, on that radio quiz show 28/11.

I personally don't think Bob is in denial, or off his rocker, autistic, or drunk, as some have opined.

He simply may know something none of us can imagine.

Time will tell. Be patient, as an OP no longer on WS said here recently.

Imagine waking up the next morning with a hangover and regret.

He certainly wouldn’t be the first person with that experience!

I’m having such a hard time with Gus being missing over 9 weeks now. Even though I’m familiar with rural living in the U.S., the immensity of this property is still beyond my comprehension.

I understand there are cases where decedents have been found years later in places that have previously been searched - I can’t get over that this is the family’s home. Unlike missing people who have been found near roads or in parks, Gus went missing on a property that is perpetually available to his family (outside of weather and scheduling concerns). I imagine that his family is spending every spare second of their lives searching for him, as I would be.

Even with the rugged landscape, possibility of clandestine mines and vastness of the property - it seems that a fair portion of the area that a 4 year old could have traveled would have been combed through, potentially multiple times, by both searchers and family by now.

Just another factor that makes this sad case so baffling.

Hi there, this is the first time I have signed up for anything like this, but have been fascinated by this case for the last couple of months, and hoping against all the odds that this little guy might be found alive.

Seeing lots of red flags here <modsnip>

When it looked like Gus would be found alive after wandering away, the community came together to join professional searchers to look. Gus' family welcomed the assistance.

Community comes together as search for missing 4yo Gus enters day 7

The search for missing four-year-old Gus has entered its seventh day, with no new signs of the boy.

www.abc.net.au

Once it appeared it would be a body recovery effort, only professionals searched for Gus.

I don't understand why people think inexperienced volunteers should be wandering the extensive property, which is very difficult and dangerous to search, to find a child's body. It sets up professionals to be rescuing volunteers instead of finding this child's body to bring home to his family for a proper burial and grieving.

We were asked not to discuss this matter any further.

Move on from the Daily Mail discussion !!

It is distracting from discussion of what happened to Gus.

Thank you.

Yeah I don’t think he is alive.

Welcome to WebSleuths. It’s a good little community.

I still don't think Gus is on the sheep station. Experts from law enforcement, the military and trackers haven't found any trace.
Could he have wandered into the road and been in an accident with a vehicle? The driver panics and dispose 's of Gus several miles away?
Gus climbs into a delivery vehicle or trailer and comes to harm by accident. Again the driver panics and disposes of Gus miles away?
A predator snatches Gus and kidnaps him. Not much CCTV or ANPR in the area. A disturbingly high number of Australian children have vanished without trace for many years

Transient camps on the property? I don't think so.

RSBM
I was not actually suggesting a transient campsite on the Murray Station.

My query was along the lines of whether somehow Gus was taken (by a transient station worker) or if Gus climbed into a worker's truck and ended up at a community for station workers, such as for traveling sheep Shearers.

That is why I tend to take Bob at his 28/11 rado quiz show word that he and Fleur "know" Gus is alive. And no, I don't think they are searching on the Murraty's station. That would make no sense, as certainly if Gus is in the bush, he's dead.

Perhaps we need to think outside the box, such as pondering whether Bob and Fleur may be searching the dark web for Gus, who may be in a child traf****ing situation? Or could he be in a nearby tansient encampment? Or could he be seen at a neighboring property's CCTV?, etc.

Why they would not just relay whatever information they have to SAPOL is odd. What theory or information would Bob and Fleur have that compel them to search somewhere for Gus on their own?

IMO.
