4 year old boy - Gus, went missing on his families homestead a month ago

Extensive searches failed to find him.
The latest effort will drain the properties dam.
No suggestion of foul play.

That may be wild dog territory and Dingoes are not all that friendly!
Sure hope not!

We have Coyotes and wolves here + I have seen 2 cougars 2 years ago.
They were heading for water just as things were dark.

Golf club or handgun when out of doors near deer territories. Couple
years ago, there was a young deer and coyote in the Cloverleaf of the
interstate at my exit to home.

No Dingo tracks anywhere.
Local trackers have found no signs of any tracks except 1 shoed footprint
Not really the chance of kidnapping. Homestead is 25kms - 15 miles from main road.

Very sad.It would be terrible if they found him dead but even worse if he’s never found at all I think.

These terrible things used to be created by falling down into something, off a place they climb to or being hauled away by a sicko. A Dog should have found the child’s trail if there were scent markings.
The tragedy surely sux!

After 29 days in the desert there is no chance of finding him alive.
So sad.

Every means used in a search has been employed.
Human tracks, sniffer dogs, drones and thermal imaging.
Nothing at all has been found.

Gus has still not been found.
55 days, no trace at all.
Homestead where Gus lived.
