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

With due respect, not all snakes behave like this. As a kid, I lived on what was locally known as 'Snake Highway' in a valley. We had browns, taipans, red belly black snakes, tree snakes etc. Often they were found in and around the house looking for rats etc to eat. They would rear up and get very irritated if they felt trapped. We had no phone nor electricity and our nearest neighbour was 3 miles away. It was the rifle or hoe that was used to get rid of them. Or our cats would circle them until someone came with rifle or hoe.
Some came for the sun, but most came for food. At 5yo, with the help of my mother and cats, we could hunt out any snake and I would shoot once and no more snake.
Nothing worse than going to sleep knowing there was a snake or two in the ceiling.

You and your kin are made of way, way tougher stuff than I am. And your cats as well. I found my very large cat whimpering and hiding from a baby mouse once.

I was born into it. So I never knew anything different.

Thinking of little Gus….. where are you buddy?

 

[sportstergirl]

Its gone very quiet. No new developments?

Its gone very quiet. No new developments?

Was wondering the same. Is anything reported on this locally in Australia?

As the story goes, the only outcome will be an eventual discovery of remains somewhere on that station. Any other scenario points to something other than Gus wandering off, which would throw the entire official story into disarray.

This article contains the discovery of lorens missing brother Dan and how his remains where eventually found in a crawl space within the family home

It is this detail that gives rise to my opinion that gus and jack and lilly will be found within the confines of their respective properties eventually

One would think ,smell ,insect activity etc would give rise to missing victims found like this being found earlier but unfortunately nature seems to be discreet at times

Sorry to distract our Gus thread.

Here is a story about a missing 4 year old boy in Alabama (USA) sadly found deceased in 3-4 days, 2 miles from his Father's home with the boy's dog that was alive. Below is WS thread.

Are there any predators out there that could snatch him without leaving evidence behind ?

It's unlikely, cuz it would leave behind blood, etc or any evidence.

 

[Caiman]

I think we need more info and evidence cuz currently we don't have much other than speculation.

Indeed.

Welcome to Websleuths, @Caiman!

There is no new info.
In fact, no information at all.

Silence.

The little boy's Fate is shrouded in silence and mystery.

No MSM journalists even dare to approach the family after the infamous incident at the property involving DM reporter.
Interest in this case is discouraged IMO.

I'm afraid Gus's story will soon be forgotten
and his name added to the long list of unexplained missing persons' cases.
