‘Unbearable’: Gus’s parents break their silence
The parents of missing boy Gus Lamont have released a public statement, photo and video, as the search for their son continues.
Gus Lamont’s “shattered” parents have finally broken their silence, issuing a heartbreaking plea as they appeal for information to help find their missing son.
On Tuesday, the boy’s parents Josh and Jess said they were “united in our grief, and we are united in our search for answers about what happened to our little boy, Gus, who means everything to us”.
“Our lives have been shattered, and every moment without him is unbearable,” they said in a statement, released by SA Police, about their son missing from Oak Park Station since September 27.
“We know someone out there may have information.
“If someone knows what happened, we are pleading with that person – or anyone who may have seen or heard anything – to please come forward.

“The tireless efforts of police, emergency services, ADF personnel, volunteers, and specialists have meant more to us than we can ever say.
“To the friends, family and supporters who have shown such compassion, concern, and assistance during this heartbreaking time: thank you. Your kindness has helped carry us through the darkest days of our lives.
“All we want is to bring Gus home and understand what happened to our beautiful boy”.
Gus was last seen by his grandmother on September 27.
He was playing in the dirt near his family homestead, 43km south of Yunta, about 5pm.
Earlier this month, police declared his disappearance a major crime and recently revisited the property where he went missing in a bid to discover new clues.
The latest search at the remote property where four-year-old Gus Lamont vanished this month ended without police finding evidence.
It covered numerous buildings and structures at the station and at several locations adjoining the property.
