Jessica and Joshua Lamont release a statement expressing they are devastated by their son Gus Lamont’s disappearance. The three outlets report that the parents are appealing for information and describing their distress at his continued absence.

Across Brisbane Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, the statement is presented in similar terms, focusing on the family’s immediate reaction rather than additional details about the circumstances of the disappearance. None of the provided summaries add further information such as the timeline, where Gus was last seen, or any investigative developments. The common emphasis is the parents’ account of how the disappearance affects them and their need for help from the public.

While the outlets differ in publication and location, their coverage of the statement aligns closely in content, with no substantive differences noted in the supplied excerpts.
