Damn. I had seen this kid pop up on news sites since the disappearance and never looked into it. I always assume in these cases the kid is already raped and dismembered by the time their picture is on the milk cartons. This Gus looked especially likely to me as the vacant stare and long curly hair scream "I'm being molested". The details of this case just confirm it.
Very sad case, the SA police I assume are just waiting for the smoking gun they need to arrest tranpa and probably other family members. If they wanted to they could already lock the old fucker up for child neglect and endangerment just taking his bullshit alibi at face value. They want to see this pig go away for life.
As for Dad, he looks like a bit of a deadshit. I am assuming he didn't see Gus very much prior to the disappearance. I want to know more about Mum and Grandma. Am I right in saying Tranpa is not a blood relative? If he married into the family in the 90s, he is not Gus' biological pa, right?
