Search Resumption Details
A renewed police operation for four-year-old Gus, who vanished nearly two months ago, is set to continue into its second day without any clues yet found. Authorities plan to probe six uncovered and unfenced mine shafts located 5.5 to 12 kilometers from the outback sheep station homestead south of Yunta. This marks the fourth major search, following prior ground, aerial, and dam-draining efforts covering vast areas.
Investigation Teams and Approach
Special Tasks and Rescue (STAR) Group and Task Force Horizon will use specialized equipment in this three-day push. Deputy Commissioner Linda Williams stressed commitment to every avenue:
We are committed to exploring every possible option to find Gus Lamont and offer some resolution to his family.
Police note no signs of foul play and were previously unaware of these sites beyond the initial 5.5km radius.
Local Context
The Yunta area's mining history features numerous hazardous diggings, heightening risks in the remote Mid North region. Community members hold out hope for resolution as searches persist.
