Police left disappointed as three-day search for Gus fails to uncover new evidence
South Australian police have said no evidence to suggest that Gus Lamont was abducted has been found following a renewed search around the property where the four-year-old disappeared eight months ago.
Providing an update to the media this afternoon at Oak Park Station, Major Crime Investigation Branch's Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke said no new evidence was found during the three-day search, one grandparent remains a suspect in the boy's disappearance.
"At this time, no other suspects or persons of interest have been identified," he said.
He admitted the absence of fresh evidence uncovered by the recent search was disheartening.
"We haven't given up. It is disappointing that we haven't found anything," he said.
"The reality is, the longer this goes on, the closer we get to not finding him.
"I don't want to give anybody the impression that we're hopeful after eight months that we'll find Gus alive, but we are hopeful we'll be able to recover Gus at some point."
