Footprint found in South Australian outback search for four-year-old boy | South Australia

The discovery of an footprint provides a glow of hope before a pre -school quest in an outback Homestead becomes a rescue process.

August, known as GUS, disappeared from the sheep station of his family in the middle of Saturday afternoon, Saturday afternoon.

The best scenario of the authorities on Wednesday was that Gus entered the shelter at prey and without food or water, and expected to be saved from the property near the Yunt, about 300 km north of Adelaide.

In a significant development, a footprint was found on Tuesday night.

“Yesterday, we found a little breakthrough that we found a footprint, about 500 meters away from property,” he said in a statement on Wednesday.

“Quite windy, but quite important footprint,” he said.

“We can positively determine that this is from a child, and it is a very similar boot model for what Gus is wearing when it disappears, so this is a very important finding for us.”

However, the police also prepared the family for the worst after five days of search.

“This is a young child who has no food, water, shelter for that time, so it will be quite difficult for that little lad, S said Syrus.

“We are preparing the fact that we can go to heal from an effort to search the family.”

A specialist audience with deep information about the land was called to help search.

GUS’s Perisan family said on Tuesday that they were “struggling to understand what happened”.

Bill Harbison, on behalf of the family, “Gus is the absence of us all of us and we miss it more than words can express it,” he said.

“Our hearts are aching and we hope that it will be found and return safely.”

When the child disappeared, he was playing in the sand near his family house.

Despite a crazy search, no trace was found.

Trail bikes, all-arrain vehicles, dogs and a drone state emergency service volunteers, including comprehensive place searches, helicopters, police divers and installed officers were included.

The police don’t believe it is suspicious to disappear.

Gus has long, blonde, curly hair. The latest gray sun hat, a yellow minion on the front, light gray long trousers and a cobalt blue t -shirt wearing a blue t -shirt.
