GUS’ GRANDMA’S BOMBSHELL ‘I FOUND A FOOTPRINT’

He vanished without a trace, now the prime suspect says she believes he was taken

- 

He loved being on the swing and on his push bike,’ Gus Lamont’s grandmother Josie Murray tearfully told Seven News’ Spotlight as she recalled the sweet, four-year-old boy with unmistakable blond curls and gorgeous brown eyes, who vanished without a trace nine months ago.

SHOCK EVIDENCE

In a shock move, Josie, who is the “main suspect” in her grandson’s disappearance, has broken her silence in a prime-time interview, revealing she believes Gus was kidnapped from the family’s, Oak Park Station, farm in Yunta, SA, on the evening of September 27 last year.

Following Gus’ disappearance, Josie, 75, who along with his other grandma Shannon and his mum Jess was on the farm when he disappeared, remembers seeing wheel tracks from a “small tyre, medium-sized passenger type” vehicle that didn’t match any on the farm, and an old bedstead and weather station had been moved – information that hasn’t been made public before.

“I thought, that's strange... And I started thinking almost immediately, I wonder if someone's come in? And all the time I was thinking, there's a chance he’s been taken,” Josie movingly recalled, adding that she was “horrified” at the number of vehicles that came in during the investigation, which could've destroyed evidence.

More shockingly, she found a small footprint on the bank of a dam, which she photographed to compare to Gus’ boot, but police told her it came from one of the divers searching the property.
