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

[Ellery84]

Interesting info.

Nb, I believe Gus’ first name is August, not Augustus.

I agree.

No one is allowed to say because there is a law protecting the identity of sexual assault victims in South Australia, whilst that victim is still alive.

But when the victim passes away, it may be able to be reported on.

On another topic; Shannon does have an Aunty and she is very old. She is in nursing home.

The aunty’s property was called Bullyaninnie. I think that’s where police were searching today.

IMO

If you see the map I have attached of the distance between Bullyaninnie and Oak Park, where I have drawn the dark pink line is where there is a road between the two properties.

For the general public, the roads (in blue) represent a very long journey from one property to the other, but the Murray and Betty families could use their own private road, which is more direct, to travel from Oak Park homestead to Bullyaninnie homestead.

Edit: Joy Betty and Clair Pfeiffer are sisters, or were, and Clair died in 1988. Clair was Shannon’s mother, so Clair would have been Gus’ great grandmother, and Joy Betty is Gus’ great aunt.

Would the road between Oak Park and Bullyaninnie be the route they’d take to town?

Which one, the main road or the private road?

Do you know what distance the two houses are apart through the private road?

Would the road between Oak Park and Bullyaninnie be the route they’d take to town?

IMO yes, this would likely be the route out in the direction of Peterborough.

ie Bullyaninnie and Rucioch rds

Sorry, the private road.

It’s appalling! They’re both as bad as each other!

So you feel 100% certain two people know what happened?

Is it possible that she ALLEGEDLY medicated Gus

IMO it's hard to imagine a cover-up over accidental overdose of a sleep medication. You could just say the child somehow got ahold of it and swallowed some.

I know authorities are working very hard on this case and hope they will keep expanding the search locations. The obvious way someone would hide a death would be the dams (but they were already searched) or out on all that surrounding land.

No I’m not certain of anything but one would most likely be covering for the other IMO

How can they do this to their daughter? It's disgusting that whoever did this won't own up. You have to be ice cold to put your daughter through this and not let her have any closure. JMO.

Who lived on this property ? , do grandparents have other children beside Gus mum ? . Was this property searched previously ?

This is the only source I could find, but according to this article, Jess is Josie and Shannon's only child: Gus Lamont's fiercely private grandmothers are seen for first time

I have said lots that I feel mom spoke up, I still feel that way. Part of why I do is because she’s never released more photos. Never spoken about him.

Forever if a parent behaves this way, it signals there is something else known or there

“I anticipate there will be further searches at Oak Park Station and at several sites on an adjacent national park to locate Gus as new information and intelligence comes to hand as the investigation continues,’’ Det. Supt. Fielke said.

To me, this statement reads like someone is telling them something and not phone data or the like trickling in.

Also, for the police to state they have a suspect, they'd have to have more than a story from someone changing a little over a few months. That's very light weight evidence to start calling someone a suspect. There's more to it....IMO

Follow previous discussions or google. This isn old info

Sorry, the private road.

Ok, yeah no. One wouldn’t use the private road between Bullyaninnie station and Oak Park station to head into town from Oak Park afaik.

I think it’s unsealed and would be strictly off limits to civilians or non family. Imo.

You’d take the Barrier Highway and go South West from Yunta town, then turn left onto Rucioch Rd just after Nackara, then keep going through to Bullyaninnie Road to arrive at the Bullyaninnie homestead if you wanted to travel from Yunta to Bullyaninnie. Then if you were driving to Oak Park station from Yunta you would probably take Netley Gap Sturt Vale Road and then veer right onto Oak Park Road to then arrive at the Oak Park homestead from there.

However if one was driving from Oak Park to Adelaide one may want to cut through the Bullyaninnie station, but I am honestly not sure how drivable that road between the two homesteads is. It might be more of a pathway you would use for an ATV, a motorbike or a horse, and not a car or ute as such. Of course, you couldn’t cut through the stations if you weren’t family or an invited guest as it’s all private property there and we know what happens when one steps foot into Oak Park property uninvited.



Jmo

Of course, if someone who lives at Oak Park and is a suspect, for example, in a major crime, and was wanting to hide the body of a child - they might use a motorbike and not a car, so really they could have gone anywhere they liked…. In theory. They could have gone to Bullyaninnie.

IMO

 

[Ellery84]

Do you know what distance the two houses are apart through the private road?

From recollection it’s about 27 minutes drive. I’m not sure of the actual distance in km.

IMO
