The search for missing four-year-old Gus Lamont who vanished from his family’s home a month ago could resume, cops say.
Police Commissioner Grant Stevens confirmed on Wednesday that cops could return to the remote property at Oak Park, north of Adelaide, to search for the preschooler for a fourth time.
Gus was last seen at the family home on September 27.
‘We’ve been acting on the advice of survivability experts, doctors, medical staff, in relation to how far Gus might travel and how long and how long he would be able to survive without any support or assistance,’ Mr Stevens said.
‘That was a factor that dictated how far we would search and how long.
‘We are continuing to go back because we are still committed to recovering Gus for the family, so everybody has some sense of closure in relation to what’s occurred up in Yunta.’
He did not provide a timeframe, but said search teams would return to the property ‘based on further analysis of data’.

SA Police drained 3.2 million litres of water from a dam near the property last week, but found no trace of the boy.
