Police Identify Suspect in Gus Lamont Case as Mother Leaves Adelaide

Police now treat the case as a major-crime investigation focused on a non-parent resident of the family property.

Overview

  • Detectives say they believe four-year-old Gus is dead after ruling out both wandering off and stranger abduction.
  • A person who lives at Oak Park Station, and is not a parent, has stopped cooperating with investigators and is now considered a suspect.
  • Major Crime officers executed a January search of the homestead, seizing a vehicle, a motorcycle and electronic devices, with further searches flagged.
  • Jessica Murray has left Adelaide to stay with a friend following the public identification of a suspect connected to the property.
  • Gus’s grandparents have retained high-profile lawyers and issued a statement asserting they have cooperated fully, while police stress the parents are not suspects.
