SA:Rain brings hope of solving missing boy mystery

Heavy rain at a remote station has prompted police to renew their search for a four-year-old boy who has been missing for more than eight months.

Gus Lamont was last seen by his grandmother playing at the Oak Park Station homestead in outback South Australia on September 27, 2025.

Major crime detectives and specialist officers resumed a search of the property on Monday, "to take advantage of opportunities that may have arisen as a result of recent heavy rains on the property", SA Police said.

Task Force Horizon will "search numerous locations" for evidence over the next three days, police said.

On February 5, police declared the boy's disappearance a major crime and said someone living at the remote station was a suspect in the case and his likely death.
