Last updated 17th Jan 2025
Two sisters missing from Aberdeen for over a week told their landlady they would not be returning to their flat right before they disappeared.
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti sent a phone message at 2.12am last Tuesday from the Victoria Bridge area.
The phone was then disconnected from the network and has not been active since.
Police had previously confirmed the last sighting of the pair was on Market Street at the bridge at the time the message was sent.
The 32-year-olds then crossed the bridge and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee heading towards Aberdeen Boat Club.
Sisters visited last known location day before disappearance
Police have also revealed the sisters, part of triplets, visited the scene of their last known whereabouts the day before vanishing.
The women were seen at Victoria Bridge around 2.50pm last Monday.
CCTV shows Eliza and Henrietta, who were both earing rucksacks, spent five minutes at the footpath and the bridge but did not speak to or meet anyone else.
Police are appealing for information from anyone who may have seen the sisters at that time.
After visiting the bridge, the pair are then seen on CCTV making their way through the city centre, via the Union Square shopping centre, back to their flat in the Charlotte Street area of Aberdeen.
There is nothing to indicate that Eliza or Henrietta left their flat again until shortly before they were last seen at the River Dee in the early hours.
Eliza and Henrietta are both described as white and of slim build with long, brown hair.
Police say the alarm was raised after the sisters’ personal belongings were found in the flat last Wednesday.
Superintendent David Howieson said: "We have carried out a significant trawl of public and private CCTV footage as we try to establish the sisters’ movements.
"Several hours of footage are being examined by a dedicated team of officers and we have so far established that Eliza and Henrietta were at the footpath next to the River Dee at 2.50pm on Monday, 6 January, 2025.
"Although the sisters didn't engage with anyone else at this time, the area would have been busy and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen them.
"Please think back, did you notice anyone matching their description?
“After returning home, there is nothing to indicate that Eliza or Henrietta left their flat again until shortly before they were last seen at the River Dee.
“Extensive enquiries are ongoing, and I would again stress there is nothing to suggest any suspicious circumstances or criminality.”
Searches will continue in the harbour area
Officers say further searches involving specialist resources will continue in the coming days, including in the harbour area.
Superintendent Howieson added: "We have had a positive response from the public to our appeals and I would like to thank everyone who has already come forward.
"I would again urge anyone with any information which could help find Eliza and Henrietta to get in touch.
"We remain in regular contact with Eliza and Henrietta’s family in Hungary and we will continue to provide them with support at this very difficult time.
“Searches will continue in the coming days and our officers will continue to do everything they can to find Eliza and Henrietta.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0735 of Tuesday, 7 January, 2025.
