For months, the search for Gus Lamont focused on the land around his family’s remote property in South Australia. Last week, police said the case has taken a turn.

Gus was four years old when he disappeared on September 27th 2025 while playing near his grandparents’ home which also is connected to a large sheep station outside Yunta. In the weeks and months that followed, investigators searched the surrounding property on foot, by air, and through nearby dams. They found no trace of him.

Earlier this month, police outlined three possibilities they had been examining: that Gus wandered off, that he was taken by someone unknown, or that something occurred involving someone he knew. Authorities now say their focus is on that third scenario.

Investigators confirmed they have identified a suspect described as a family member living at the property and allege that this person is no longer cooperating with the investigation. In January, officers seized a vehicle, a motorbike, and electronic devices from the property.

The shift has also brought renewed attention to the family’s living arrangements at the time of Gus’s disappearance with authorities confirming that Gus’s grandparents, his mother, and his younger brother were on the station when he vanished. His father, Joshua Lamont, was not living at the property at the time. Gus’s mother, Jessica, was raised on the rural station by her parents, Shannon and Josie, and had been staying there for a period following her separation from Joshua. After Gus disappeared, she moved to Adelaide and has reportedly since been staying with a friend.

Police have emphasized that Gus’s parents are not suspects. While no arrests have been made moving from a broad search effort to focusing on someone known to the child is a huge development in this case.

Two black gloves turned up during a roadside search in the Catalina Foothills, about a mile from Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood in Tucson. The gloves were recovered yesterday as investigators walked stretches of roadway in the area and were immediately sent for DNA testing, a process that should move quickly.

While the gloves haven't been proven to be connected to Guthrie’s disappearance just yet, they do appear similar to the ones worn by the masked individual seen in the early morning doorbell footage released days earlier.

Since that image was made public, authorities say roughly 18,000 tips have come in. Deputies and FBI agents have been assisting Pima County investigators in revisiting the Catalina Foothills and once again canvassing Nancy's neighborhood requesting surveillance footage specifically from the night of January 31st into February 1st.

For now, the focus of the investigation remains fixed in that same area where investigators have continued looking for clues while re-examining some of the same details over again.

A Google Maps Street View car drove through a tiny Spanish village and captured an image that later became key evidence in a death investigation. In November 2023, a man from Tajueco, Spain, was reported missing. That same month, a Street View vehicle happened to pass through the village and photographed what appeared to show someone placing a large wrapped object into the trunk of a car.

When investigators looked at the timeline they realized the image was taken during the window of his disappearance leading them to believe the object in the trunk was the missing man. It wasnt long before two individuals being taken into custody.

Interestingly enough, Google had not updated Street View imagery in that specific location since November 2009. The 2023 drive was the first time the village had been photographed again in more than a decade.

In this case, a delayed update made all the difference proving, in an odd way, timing really is everything.
