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

Perhaps this message and the photos which Gus's parents have just released signifies that they are united again (didn't we hear that they split up? Sorry if I'm wrong!) I'm very happy if that is the case, and the 3 of them will start to build a new life which Gus will definitely still be a part of.

It is hard to tell. They are "united in their grief" ... and "united in their search for answers".

I am not sure what that means (relationship-wise). If they were fully aligned, I would have expected "we grieve for Gus" and "we are searching for answers" - with no need to mention the united part.

Either they have heard the rumours, and want to emphasise that they are united/together.
Or they are not together, but they are on the same page as far as Gus is concerned.

I think that a major crisis is difficult for any couple to navigate through, but either way they are united for Gus.

I think the boy died by a violent and criminal act by one grandparent and both grandparents have gone to such an extent to cover this up because there is so much at stake financially. The family is sitting on millions. I think it also possible that the boy's father was not deemed a suitable or good enough match for the Murray family's privately educated daughter (the Murray family on both sides going back at least one generation were held in high social esteem). Resentment towards the father may have been projected onto any offspring with their daughter, whom also presumably one day would stand to inherit the grandparent's considerable wealth (I understand ownership of Oak Park Station was transferred to Jose at some point). In the picture and video released Gus looks to me like a very loved little boy. Jess may have been staying with her parents more through necessity, after separating from her partner, than 100 percent through choice.
