Crime experts say police have deployed a 'masterful tactic' in the Gus Lamont investigation as detectives announce there is a single suspect in the boy's disappearance. Police publicly revealed on Thursday that a family member 'who resides at Oak Park Station' - not one of Gus' parents - had withdrawn co-operation in the investigation, and that person is now a suspect. 'If you have to caution someone when they are talking to police, that will shut them up,' Mr Bezzina said. Mr Bezzina said detectives may then try to persuade people with knowledge of the case to come forward. Gus vanished around 5pm on September 27 last year from remote Oak Park Station - a 60,000ha South Australian property about 40km south of Yunta.
