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

There is always going to be inconsistencies during a cover up. imo

One could also argue the converse. There are always going to be inconsistencies in recollections of a real event; whereas consistency may be a sign of collaboration, invention, cover-up.

Just re-reading the police report from yesterday. The police searched also on 2nd February this year ... 4 days ago.
Not only on 14th and 15th of January this year.


Det. Supt. Fielke said as a result of recent investigations on 14 and 15 January 2026 detectives attended Oak Park Station and executed a search warrant.

On 2 February 2026 Task Force Horizon officers searched several locations around Oak Park Station for the remains of Gus.

Wow they hid the 2nd of February 2026 search well from media. Wonder why that bit of information wasn't mentioned in the actual live video presser.

Wonder if LE are searching pinged cell locations within the property.

That article is actually from March 2015. 11 years ago.

Since then Andrew Ey has received a ‘pre-eminent’ rating in 2023 for criminal law in the distinguished Doyle’s Guide of Australia’s leading lawyers.

He has also achieved murder acquittals for Frankie Marshall in 2010, Nicholas Novakoic in 2016 and Thomas Pinnington in 2023.

Yeah, I still found it interesting - especially to be charged for finger pointing how embarrassing.

Kind of a puerile charge. The officer must have been very annoyed.

You know what gets me?
That regardless of alllllll the other information we have (or don’t have), there has never seemed to be any physical evidence that Gus was at the property, full stop.
No footprints.
No clothing.
No belongings.
Pause and think on that a moment.

How long had Gus and Mum been living on the property?

Because if you have had any dealings with children of Gus’ age, you will know, without a doubt that 4 year olds leave stuff EVERYWHERE. I mean toys, hats, shoes, socks, stones and sticks, sand, dirt, sticky handprints, crumbs, plush toys, figurines, art and craft stuff, story books, lego etc etc etc

Footprints a PLENTY should’ve been stamped and stomped from one end of that property to the other (at least around the house).

But we have seen media reports saying “no physical evidence” he was there.
Does that include any small clothing? Dirty laundry? Little shoes? Child-friendly foods? Toys in the bathtub? Bedding?

In the absence of any remarkable items or footprints around the immediate house means he WAS NOT OUTSIDE.

Are we looking at a situation where Gus was contained indoors only?
And why would that be?

Just these points have been sticking in my head.
And I know that police have said the parents are in the clear, but police could be playing a long game here. Don’t assume that what they tell the public is everything they have, or in anyway 100% truth.

Just my thoughts.

Has it been said that there were no belongings of the child at the property? I haven’t seen that before.

Am I remembering correctly that the presser yesterday mentioned the police had received 2 letters with information?

 

[Marg944]

“One of the biggest challenges we’ve had in this investigation is the location of where it occurred. So in a metropolitan area we can often rely on CCTV, we can rely on traffic camera footage.

“That’s what makes this challenging, in terms of the amount of people that are involved and family members who are providing us the information.”


Mr Fielke said police had spoken to “all people” in the broader area who presented risk profiles associated with abduction or child offending, as well as anyone who had been working on the station and neighbouring properties around the time of Gus’s disappearance.

All those people were discounted, he said.”

Re what I bolded in your post. I believe this is pure speculation on your part and as such should be clearly labelled as such? It kinda reads as if you are stating a fact. At least to me.

On what basis does it seem to you that there were no items belonging to Gus at Oak Park? I wonder if you could please link source to support this?

I think it's an established fact that Gus resided there so it is logical he had belongings there. Ditto for footprints (of whatever quality by the time police started their searches) within the homestead grounds itself. Jmo

Am I remembering correctly that the presser yesterday mentioned the police had received 2 letters with information?

Just so happens I was just reading that. Letters are rather old school.


“More than 380 Crimestoppers tips, 38 emails and two letters from the public, as well as a large number of internal documents, were analysed by police.”

[PolyDot]

Sorry about that post ,
What I meant to add was , how do we know there was no items belonging to Gus , we can’t see inside the house and there are no reports talking about kids stuff

The kind of thing elderly farming types would do, IMO.

 

[Old Soul]

Yes, that has stuck in my mind too. I’m not sure if it was mentioned because letters are an anomaly in today’s digital world or perhaps as an acknowledgement, to whomever may be watching, that those letters contained some pertinent information.

The press conference was very thorough and it is easy to imagine that certain images, details, word choices and emphases were strategic, in my opinion.

Daily Mail has a report today that says Jess & the kids live in Adelaide with Josh most of the time. The house is owned by Shannon Murray. It stated they visited the property regularly but didn't live there.

Report in the Daily Mail today states that he didn't reside there full time. He actually lived in Adelaide with Josh, Jess & little brother in a house owned by Shannon Murray

Signed with the crosshairs of a gunsight?

imo

Personally @SouthAussie - I'm confuzzed why the original-post was made, as if to cast shade on Ey bc they're representing one of the grandparents, but for the record, IF I was the copper & this happened to me:

"Constable Barry Purnell was stabbed with such force that the tip of the kitchen knife had to be surgically removed from his face.." - SA brothers jailed for 'savage' cop attack.

I'd be more than slightly peeved that some lowlife decided to use my face to store kitchen-cutlery.

[Andreee]

IMO - I distinctly remember making a post & stating that here in Australia, seeing someone brandishing a shotgun so menacingly was NOT normal & I got shouted down about it at the time. So I’ll reiterate it again for those in the back - Seeing someone brandishing a shotgun so menacingly is NOT normal here in Australia. MOO

I guess it didn't help that the police stated in media that the brandishing a shotgun had to do with the grandparent going after a snake in the porch area. I wonder now if that was just LE trying to appease the grandparent for the time being, rather than actually believing the story.

 

[RedHaus]

If true, that is a HUGE shift in the few facts we think we know. Can you please link that report?
