Major Crime Investigation Branch officer-in-charge Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke made the announcement during a press conference.

Fielke has also confirmed that the young boy has not been located as of writing despite extensive search efforts by authorities.

"Every police officer and civilian involved was invested in the search and had only one focus – to find Gus and return him to his parents,'' Dept. Supt. Fielke said.

"Despite these extraordinary efforts, all of the combined searches have found no evidence, physical or otherwise, to suggest Gus has wandered off,'' he added.

Suspect Has Been Identified

According to a report by news.com.au, authorities have also identified a suspect in the case.

"As a result of these inconsistencies, and investigations into them, a person who resides at Oak Park Station has withdrawn their support for the police and is no longer co-operating with us," Fielke revealed.

However, he emphasized that neither of the boy's parents has been identified as the suspect.

He likewise said that he cannot reveal information on who the suspect is, where the suspect is located, and why the person is being considered a suspect at this time.
