MYSTERY: An abandoned house 500m from the scene of Gus’ disappearance was discovered to have a baby crying — but when police broke in, they found…
Authorities investigating the disappearance of 22-year-old Gus were drawn to a chilling discovery late last night after multiple officers reported hearing the unmistakable sound of a baby crying coming from an old, abandoned house just 500 meters from where Gus was last seen.
The property, a boarded-up structure long known by locals as “The Hollow House,” was believed to have been empty for more than a decade. Yet as officers approached, several of them confirmed hearing soft, rhythmic cries echoing from inside — sharp enough that body cameras picked up the sound.
Believing a child might be in danger, police forced the front door open.
Inside, the house was completely empty.
No crib, no baby items, no footprints, no signs of recent activity. Layers of dust coated the floors so thick that any movement would have left clear marks — but there were none. The temperature inside was cold, and the rooms smelled of mold and old wood.
Officers searched every floor, the basement, closets, and even the attic. Nothing.
The most disturbing detail:
Audio technicians later reviewed the body-cam recordings. The “baby crying” is clearly audible — but only in the footage outside the house. The moment officers enter, the sound vanishes completely.
Police are now investigating three possibilities:
- Someone used a hidden speaker or device to lure attention,
- A person with a child fled through one of the broken exits before officers arrived,
- Or the sound originated from somewhere else entirely and echoed into the house.
Despite hours of searching, no infant, no belongings, and no evidence of any recent human presence were discovered.
The abandoned house has now been sealed off as investigators try to determine whether the mysterious crying is connected to Gus’ disappearance — or if it is a separate, far stranger incident.
