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

Thank you but even in this article, what they claim the unnamed 'top boss' said does not match their headline. They claimed he said 'two' but the 'quoted' words said 'members'. If there was more information from actual quotes, then they should've published it, not random words here and there that don't support their headline. It makes me very wary of trusting anything they publish. JMO.

Yes. The 'top boss' (Police Commissioner Grant Stevens) didn't say it. A police spokesperson did.

The police commissioner said "members" and the police spokesperson said "two family members". And the spokesperson wouldn't comment on "further suspects".
(which doesn't mean there are or there are not further suspects, just means they aren't talking about the case. imo).

ABC had the radio interview with the Police Commissioner. This is what they said.


Today, Police Commissioner Grant Stevens told ABC Radio Adelaide "members" of the family were "not cooperating" with police.

"As far as I'm aware, it's status quo, from the most recent reports. We are still working with Gus's mum and dad and there are other members of the family who are no longer cooperating,"

Following Commissioner Stevens's interview, an SA Police spokesperson confirmed "that two family members are only communicating [with police] via their legal representatives".

When asked by the ABC if there were any further suspects, a police spokesperson said they were "unable to make any further comment at this point".

Two members of Gus Lamont's family 'not cooperating' directly with police

South Australia's Police Commissioner has said that two members of missing boy Gus Lamont's family are "not cooperating" with investigators, but a police spokesperson said they could not comment further on the number of suspects in the case.

Pardon?

"Unnamed top boss" according to OP???

They are quoting SA Police Commissioner by name:

"South Australian Police Commissioner Grant Stevens has told ABC Radio Adelaide
that 'members' of the youngster’s family were 'no longer co-operating with efforts to locate him'."

IMO
It is important to read the whole article.

I don't see any "random words" (quoting OP)

Quoting marks in text mean DIRECT SPEECH.

Oh well...
Let anyone think whatever....
After all,
it is not my business what others' opinions are hehe
People interpret the same thing differently and we have no control over it.
That's life.
