Summary
South Australia Police have declared the disappearance of four-year-old Gus Lamont a major crime, in a monumental moment of the case. What began as a desperate search for a little boy who vanished while playing at his grandparents’ remote outback sheep station has now become a criminal investigation, with one family member identified as a suspect. In this episode, Wayne speaks with reporter Karleigh Smith, who has been on the ground in South Australia, about the unprecedented scale of the search, the hiring of high-profile defence lawyers, and the mounting questions surrounding the events of that day. With no trace of Gus found despite one of the largest searches in state history, we unpack all the new information in this case.
