NOW: In a striking new twist to the Gus Lamont case, police have just recovered his smartwatch approximately 2 kilometers away from the area where he was last seen. The device, discovered by a volunteer searcher near a quiet stretch of woodland trail, was partially buried under leaves and mud, suggesting it had been there for several days.
When investigators examined the smartwatch, they found it still partially functional despite exposure to the elements. According to early reports, the device contained data logs and health readings that abruptly stopped at a specific time on the night of Gus’s disappearance. Even more puzzling, officers confirmed that the GPS tracker had been manually disabled minutes before the signal went offline.
Forensic teams are now extracting information from the watch, including heart rate data, location history, and possible voice recordings, to reconstruct the final moments before Gus vanished. Police have called this discovery “a potential turning point in the investigation”, as the smartwatch could reveal exactly where Gus went—and who might have been with him—before he disappeared without a trace.
