Josie Rachelle Murray, 75-year-old grandparent of missing four-year-old Gus Lamont, was fined $10,500 for possessing a gun silencer at the family's Oak Park Station property in South Australia. Police have stated the firearms offence is unrelated to Gus's disappearance in September 2025, though one grandparent remains a suspect in the case. The conviction adds another development to the ongoing investigation into the boy's disappearance, which has involved extensive searches but no recovery of remains.
Josie Rachelle Murray, 75, pleaded guilty to or was convicted of possessing a gun silencer at Oak Park Station in South Australia's far north and received a $10,500 fine in Adelaide Magistrates Court. She has also been banned from holding or obtaining a firearms licence for five years. South Australian Police have explicitly stated that the firearms offence is unrelated to the disappearance of her grandson, four-year-old Gus Lamont, who went missing from the family property on September 27, 2025. Despite multiple extensive searches including mine shafts and dam draining, no remains have been found. Police have identified one of Gus's grandparents as remaining a suspect in the disappearance, though both grandparents have released statements saying they cooperated fully with the investigation and want to reunite Gus with his parents.
