00:00A 5.47km radius. That's how far ground crews searched on foot for missing four-year-old
00:09boy, Gus Lamont. A number with specific meaning.
00:125.47 is the distance that 95% of them have been found at in the past.
00:18Involved in more than 15,000 search and rescue operations in his career, Jim Whitehead helped
00:24create the National Search and Rescue Manual.
00:26Over the years that I've been doing it, I've been collecting data on everybody from 1 to 99 basically.
00:32But there is a separate category for children 1 to 6.
00:35A tool police used while searching for Gus.
00:38So it's not guesswork. It's based on scientific, factual, reliable, statistical data.
00:45It's why we put the foot search into that area and why we invested so much time and effort into that area
00:52in the early part of this investigation.
00:54They went out to the maximum search distance of 5.47km and found no sign of Gus.
01:00Then it's a very good chance that Gus was not there to be found.
01:03Police say despite all of the combined searches, they've found no evidence to suggest that Gus wandered off.
01:09They say they now have a suspect who lived at Oak Park Station where Gus was last seen on September 27th,
01:15stressing that suspect is not one of the boy's parents.
01:18That will continue to thoroughly and meticulously investigate the disappearance of Gus until we get an outcome.
