Police investigating the disappearance of Gus Lamont have received a flurry of new tip-offs after offering a lucrative $1m reward for conclusive evidence. A year on from the last time the then four-year-old boy was seen, police upped the ante by announcing a huge reward for anybody whose information leads to the case being solved. Gus was last seen on September 27, 2025, playing on his family’s remote Oak Park Station, near Yunta in the Grampus area of the South Australian outback. SA Police investigators and South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas announced the $1m reward – the equal largest ever offered in the state – the days leading up to the anniversary of Gus’s disappearance. SAPol has told The Nightly that since the announcement, 163 calls have been received from people looking to help the investigation – along with 24 emails and three letters. “Police continue to receive information from the public following the announcement of a reward in relation to the disappearance of four-year-old Gus Lamont,” an SA Police spokesman said. “Since the reward was announced on September 23, Crime Stoppers has received 163 calls, 24 emails and three letters. “A reward of up to $1m remains on offer for information leading to the conviction of the person or persons responsible for the disappearance of Gus Lamont, and/or the recovery of his remains.” Task Force Horizon has spent countless hours investigating the boy’s disappearance. His parents, Josh Lamont and Jess Murray, spoke out publicly for the first time ahead of the anniversary, in a recorded video distributed by SAPol. In the emotional message, his mother said his disappearance had been “the most devastating and inexplicable event we have ever experienced”. “We love him more than words can convey, and every single day without him has been incredibly difficult,” she said. Around the same time, Josie Murray, one of the boy’s grandparents, gave a lengthy interview to 7News, in which she insisted she believes he had been abducted – by a stranger or, bizarrely an eagle.
