South Australian police have concluded their latest search for evidence following the disappearance of four-year-old Gus Lamont, but have not ruled out returning to the remote station where he lived.
Investigators went back to Oak Park Station, in SA’s Mid North, on Wednesday in a renewed hunt of clues in the case.
Yesterday, Acting Officer in Charge of Major Crime Andrew Macrae said recent heavy rain in the region could offer new opportunities in the search efforts.
“The recent significant weather event with the rain up there is leading to assessing what other new opportunities might exist in relation to searching, but the current searching was planned,” he said.
Record rainfall totals were recently documented in parts of South Australia, including near the station at Yunta.
On Thursday, police said investigators searched several areas “but sadly did not locate any evidence”.
“Task Force Horizon members have not ruled out further activity at Oak Park Station in coming weeks as the investigation continues,” police said in a statement.
