Why detectives suddenly switched the desperate hunt for the body of missing Gus Lamont to a vast new search area - as fresh details of his grandparents' HUGE Outback empire and the station's sinister
A cadaver dog, a police helicopter, and Taskforce Horizon detectives converged on Bullyaninnie Station near Oodla Wirra in the South Australian Outback on February 16. Shannon and Josie became the owners of Oak Park following the deaths of Clair and her husband Vincent Pfeiffer, a former WWII prisoner of war. With their property empire - which might one day have become Gus's - now known to be much larger than just Oak Park Station, the search area widened considerably. They have also zeroed in on the Pualco Conservation Park, which borders Murray family land. Josie and Shannon Murray have since retained separate lawyers, which is not unusual in these circumstances.
