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

While I thought the 7 update about the hat was a little bit silly at first, now that we are seeing a second report from DM about the hat, that little detail of the video is making some sense

"Police confirmed to Daily Mail that the wide-brimmed grey hat with a black band that Gus was wearing in the new video is one of the items they are hoping to find as their widespread search for the boy prepares to enter its sixth month on Friday."

I would go so far as to say that Gus is dressed very similarly (other than the boots) in the video as he was reported to have been dressed when he disappeared.

The grey hat is the same hat, the blue long sleeved top is like the colour of the minions top, and they said Gus disappeared wearing beige pants. Obviously the top and pants aren't the same ones, but the colours are similar.

I think little Gus looks awfully sad in that video

JMO but I think comments like this one or feeling 'sorry' for him being barefoot or discussing dark circles around his eyes and insinuating abuse is sadly exactly why there has been a delay in pictures/videos of him being circulated by his parents. He looks like a happy child to me.

It takes a lot of concentration to ride a balance bike ... steering, balancing, and watching where they are going - all at the same time.
The 4 year old in my family does not ride as well as that. But has a look of concentration when practising on the balance bike.

It does take a lot of concentration, but I still see sadness. MOO

Pretty soon Gus' parents will regret putting out the photo and video.
They will wish they just screenshotted the hat, and had that screenshot published.

Agree. I don't think Gus looks sad or bruised or any of those things but the images are out there now and people will put all kinds of specualtion forward. I said a number of pages back that this is why I completely understand why the parents would be hesitating on putting images out there of their loved, lost little boy.

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.

My reading of it is they they are united in wanting to find out what happened to Gus.

Nothing about their statement makes me think they are a couple.

I don't see that at all.

But hey, if you see that, perhaps he had just been told to go and do his chores? I would have been devastated at being told that when I was 4 years old.

He definitely looks a little older in these photos.
