I have known a lot of polish people who came to the UK to work, save and eventually buy property in Poland . A lot of polish people also sent money home to their families in Poland. Not sure if it would be a similar situation in Hungary. I imagine with the cost of living now that would be much harder to do.

These possibilities are long gone!
Sure, my fellow Poles used to save money earned here to buy land/houses in Poland or to support families back home. I would say that since 2014-2015 things got progressively worse and worse, and especially after Brexit many came back as it was simply not worth the hassle anymore with the quality, and standard of living so much higher in Poland.
When I came here in 2013, I was told that *El Dorado had finished* already. I think the best years for EU citizens here, were from 2004-2010.

It totally matches my experience in Dublin. I lived there between 2007 and 2009 and it felt like good years for foreigners.
My sibling has friends from Hungary who were there for a decade but decided to move back home a few years ago ; things have changed a lot in Dublin too.

This what the family was told by the twins, doesn’t mean they actually were saving money and we have no proof of it being the case.
I just find it so hard to believe that the sisters have managed to leave the area to start a new life with no one having recognising them by now. It’s not like years ago where you could just disappear to another country etc, with social media putting these stories on a platform everywhere. They would find it hard to get jobs, as passports etc are needed for right to work now and long gone are the days of cash in hand ( I think ) . Is it known if their passports were left behind ? Sorry I haven’t found that information anywhere. In any case would it now flag if passports had been used in a UK airport, with the technology available these days ? I do hope they have ran off for whatever reason but I feel they have entered the water.
I can't get into the article and am curious if Bousfield said how long ago Eliza left her job there.

Former boss of missing Eliza Huszti baffled by sisters' disappearance
Scott Bousfield described Eliza, who vanished with her sister Henrietta near the River Dee, as a 'happy, outgoing kind of person'.
www.pressandjournal.co.uk
''Mr Bousfield, who last spoke to Eliza in August, has been in contact with the police and the Huszti family following their disappearance.''
Scott Bousfield was Eliza Huszti's boss for over six years.
If they were there for 10 years (this exact number has been all over), 6 of those years is a lot to move from a cleaning job to a cleaning job. I wonder what that change was about. I can’t imagine it was significantly better pay, maybe more consistencyrbbm

He didn’t say what their cleaning jobs were there, I’ve been curious about it. Looks like he runs a contracted company. Wonder if they cleaned the boat club
Kriszina Vermes' report on the missing twins begins at 24:55.

The mystery of the Hungarian twins who disappeared in Scotland has sent shockwaves through half of Europe. Our colleague traveled 3,000 kilometers to help with the search. Krisztina Vermes found the siblings' apartment, spoke to friends and witnesses. Her private investigation was even featured in the local newspaper. She uncovered shocking details. What could have happened to them? We'll tell you everything we know after the commercial.
The 32-year-old girls seemed to have been swallowed by the earth in Scotland. They were last seen at the foot of a bridge. That's all the world knows about them, and that's all our reporter, Krisztina Vermes, knows about them. Because even though the girls have lived in the city for ten years, almost no one knew them. Their disappearance is also very confusing. My colleague didn't travel to Scotland to pick up on the girls' cold traces, but to start an investigation. He surprised the locals so much that he even made it into the local newspaper: one of the daily newspapers did an interview with him. The police found no trace. As of today, they have suspended the search for the girls in the river. However, Kriszta has discovered shocking things. Our exclusive report is coming!
-I haven't spoken to him since August! And then I saw it on the news, oh! Not good!
-They were looking for them on this stretch in the first few days.
-Nobody... had even heard of them.
-Why they came here is actually quite strange.
Three weeks. That's how long it's been since the Huszti twins disappeared in Scotland. Everyone is talking about it, the mysterious disappearance of the Hungarian girls has sent half of Europe into a frenzy.
"They could have been kidnapped."
"They must have gotten involved in something."
"They left on purpose, they wanted to disappear."
"They went on by boat."
“I think they committed suicide together.”
“Someone from their past must have shown up that made them run away.”
There are many versions surrounding this dramatic case that is worthy of a crime story. But we look at the facts. We don't know much more than the information published in the British news and the statement of the Scottish police. That's why I decided to travel to Scotland and try to get answers to my questions in person.
-I'm going to Scotland. The cameraman is waiting outside. I mean, in Scotland. He lives there. And we'll investigate, we'll investigate... We'll look at the place where the girls disappeared, the twins.
To find friends. To find acquaintances. To go to their workplaces, their apartments and the place where they disappeared. In short, I'm going to investigate. I'm going to try to get closer to the truth.
I arrived in Scotland. From here it will be a three-hour drive. My first trip from the airport was to a Hungarian restaurant in the city of Aberdeen. Its owner, Enrico, and his wife Marcsi have been running the restaurant for more than fifteen years. They were also shocked by the news of the missing Huszti twins. You will understand why this is my first stop.
-Basically, Aberdeen is a fairly calm city. So it was not frequented in terms of crime. You don't have to be afraid on the streets if someone needs to go somewhere at night. So it is absolutely a unique case. This shocked the Scots as much as it did us and the story has received quite a lot of publicity. From the BBC to the local Press and Journal... they are covering the topic everywhere.
In addition to running the restaurant, Enrico and his family are the engines of the Hungarian community living here. They know everyone, but interestingly, they had never even heard of the Huszti twins until their disappearance. But not only them, but no one from the two thousand-person community, so the girls arrived in the city 10 years ago.
-Nobody had heard of them, so absolutely no one knew them. That was very strange to me.
January 7, 2025. A Scottish woman reports to the police that her tenants, the Hungarian Huszti twins, have disappeared. The landlord allegedly received a strange message from the girls at 2:12 a.m., stating that they were terminating the lease and would never return. After that, they could not be reached.
However, all their belongings were in the apartment, even their phones.
The Scottish police immediately began a search. The two siblings were captured on a street camera on the bridge over the River Dee, but according to the camera footage, they never returned to their apartment.
Ice floes were floating on the river. It was minus 7 degrees that day, and it had even snowed before.
Everyone's first thought was that they might have slipped or jumped into the river on purpose.
In such cold, even a few minutes can be fatal due to hypothermia. But the divers found nothing, and they are still searching for them.
January 17. Ten days later, new camera footage was found, which clearly shows that Eliza and Henrietta had been in the same place the day before, as if they had surveyed the terrain. The newspapers wrote about it for days.
Before leaving home, I contacted the Scottish police. I wanted to ask them for an interview, but they said in writing that they could not say anything new, so I started a private investigation.
The next morning I gathered all the information from the newspaper articles, comments and rumors that had been published so far. Let's start at the beginning.
The girls are triplets. They have another sister who lives in Hungary with her family, and they also have a brother. I called him on the phone, but no one from the family is here in Scotland. József spoke to me for the first time about his sisters and how bad the family is in this ongoing wait.
-The truth is that the authorities are investigating, my sister is in contact with them on a daily basis. There are a lot of possibilities, and scenarios, right, but unfortunately I don't know what it is at all... it's really bad for us that they're looking for them in the icy river, for example. It's simply inconceivable that they'd just leave on their own, or I don't know, I have no idea what to do.
Their mother was the last person in the family to speak to them.
-They didn't say anything, that they were going to quit the apartment, or that they were going to do anything, or that they were leaving Scotland. No, no, they didn't say anything.
The family had never been to Scotland in ten years, and the girls had only been home twice, in 2019 and 2022.
With the photo of the Huszti twins in my hand, I went to the street, Charlotte Street, where the girls rented the apartment. According to the people who live here, this is a cheaper area, many young people rent apartments here.
I went through the houses, rang the bell of each apartment. I also showed them the photo of the girls, but in vain. The passers-by couldn't help either.
-Do you know them?
-No.
-Thank you.
No, this is the umpteenth no. But everyone has heard about their disappearance.
-They didn't live here.
-I sincerely hope they are found. I hope they are found as soon as possible. It is a mystery.
-I saw them on the news, but I don't know anything.
I was starting to lose hope. Then, after an hour and a half of asking, luck smiled at me.
This girl not only knows where they live, but she also regularly sees them smoking.
-They were alone, always alone. I saw them walking down the street.
-They didn't have a car?
-No, no, no, no, no. Sometimes I saw them smoking, standing there by the parking lot.
-Where did they live? Could you show me, please?
-Sure.
-In this building?
-They lived in this one, and I used to see them smoking there on the corner. They always stood here. When one of them stood that way, the other one always looked towards them. It was very strange that they were so in sync with each other.
While we were talking at the house, a resident just came by. However, he did not want to comment or let me in.
But I did not give up. I kept ringing the doorbells of the residents. In case a neighbor would tell me something.
Suddenly someone opened the door.
I knocked on every apartment in the stairwell from the bottom up, and then I saw the police paper. They even put a padlock on the door.
-Look what I have here. I have it. There is also a police paper outside the door.
We found the apartment where the girls lived. This was the apartment they left from. And the landlord reported their disappearance to the police from there.
-It says that the Scottish police wanted to talk to Eliza and Henrietta Huszti on January 7, 2025.
The immediate neighbor only opened the door after knocking several times.
-Hello! My name’s Krisztina Vermes. I’m from Hungary.
-OK.
-Hi, I'm doing a report on the missing girls.
-Oh, okay, yes.
-Do you know them?
-I don't know them, I've never spoken to them, I've only seen them sometimes. I'm afraid I don't know anything, I'm sorry.
-Have you lived here for years too?
-No, not that long ago, so unfortunately I can't help you, sorry.
-Thank you very much, thank you, goodbye!
I also found the shop where Heni and Eliza often went to buy Hungarian spices.
-They were very nice girls, very kind, we like them. We always greeted each other on the street. It's very unfortunate what happened. I saw them on Facebook and I was very sad that they disappeared.
I arranged a meeting on the street with a young Hungarian man, Kristóf, who has also lived here in Aberdeen for years.
-Hi! Krisztina Vermes.
-Hi!
-Thank you very much for coming and for helping me.
-Well, it's nothing.
Kristóf agreed to take me around the city in his car. He knows the area well. And although he didn't know the girls, he was very shaken by their disappearance.
(in the car)
-You could have come down this road on foot?
-Yes, yes, yes, most likely yes, you could have come down this road.
-But it's not close to their apartment.
-Well, it's about a half hour, 40 minute walk. (on the bridge) Right, what's really strange is that about half an hour after two in the morning... what brings the two girls to this part of town. Nothing comes here at two in the morning, in fact it's practically a dog walk here.
If someone wants to get to the boat club, they might come here, but definitely not at night.
Because how can they be drunk here and the riverbank is very slippery at this time of day. But you can't fall into the water unless someone wants to jump in voluntarily. The boathouse at the end of the road is on camera, but the girls aren't visible in the footage.
The next day I continued my investigation in a shopping mall. Heni worked in this café for many years. His colleagues haven't spoken to anyone yet. That's why I tried it here too. The management wouldn't allow the interview, but I found out some interesting things off camera. It may not be a coincidence that Heni disappeared during his three-day vacation. It's also interesting that he's been very tense lately, supposedly he's had problems sleeping.
I also found Eliza's former boss, who only and exclusively agreed to give me an interview. He received us at his apartment. The 32-year-old girl worked for him as a cleaner for 6 years, then unexpectedly quit in August.
-One day I got a text message saying she had found another job. She stayed for two weeks.
I asked if she had been acting strangely lately, to which I got a surprising answer.
-I noticed that she had lost a lot of weight. She had obviously lost a lot of weight. That was the one thing I noticed. I didn't want to ask because she could have been on a diet, but her face had sunken in. The pictures that the police released don't look like that now, because she was much thinner when she left us.
The man also told me that Eliza used to clean a teen disco not far from the place where the girls disappeared. He knew the area well, and according to her former boss, the girl always walked everywhere.
I contacted one of the largest local newspapers in Aberdeen and asked them for an interview. After the police, they are the ones who must know everything about the case. They can go places that others cannot.
Ross, the reporter for the Press & Journal, immediately accepted me. We agreed that he would do an interview if he could do one with me in return.
When they heard about this special case from the police report, they immediately got to work with their colleagues, which they have been dealing with every day since then.
-This is a very serious case. There have been many articles in the local newspapers, and of course in international media, such as the BBC, the Daily Record and the Daily Mail.
For now, it is a mystery to them too, how the twins could have disappeared without a trace.
-There are many unsolved cases, but I believe, I hope that this mystery will be solved as soon as possible,
because I think all of us, the Hungarian people and especially the family, and here in Aberdeen, really want these women to be found safe and sound.
I call the female landlord of the girls' apartment, but as soon as she heard why I was looking for them, she immediately hung up.
-No, thanks.
-She hung up.
I felt like I had to look at the scene again this time at night, at the exact time, after two in the morning, when the brothers disappeared. How busy the place is, what the lights are like, how dark it is there, how deserted the banks of the River Dee in that part.
-It's half past two in the morning now, around this time the Huszti twins arrived at this bridge, the Victoria Bridge, they walked across it before they disappeared. This is where the camera recorded them, or if the camera, ours, is looking there, we can see that there is a large, completely dark part here by the banks of the River Dee, where they supposedly went down and disappeared from there, because the other camera on the other side,
at the boat club, the boat club, didn't record them anymore.
I went down to the river bank in the dark, just like they did just before they disappeared.
-According to the camera footage, they walked down the beach here, and they didn't go out from here either this way or the other, right? And if I turn off the light now, you can see how dark it is. The lights on the bridge give a little light, but further in there it's almost completely dark.
Before I went home, I went out to the beach where they continued the search. There was a huge windstorm in Scotland over the weekend, which paralyzed air traffic for days. Now that the storm has subsided, they can continue the search. Several kilometers from here is the river where the twins disappeared, where they were last seen on camera. The Scottish police, Scotland Yard, is not investigating the case further because there is no crime, but they are looking for them as missing persons. Several helicopters fly over this beach every day, and they are also monitoring and investigating other sections of the coast.
Krisztina Vermes reported for TV2 from Scotland.
An unexpected turn of events took place over the weekend.
I received a message from the admin of the Facebook group called Criminology Sisters, saying that the twins had supposedly been seen in an English city, at least that's what a commenter claimed.
I looked it up on a map. Weston Favell is 8 hours away from Aberdeen, which is no longer Scotland,
but since it's still Great Britain, they could have gotten there without a passport, by car, bus, or boat.
It's interesting that there are several holes in the fence on the banks of the River Dee. This footage clearly shows that if someone wants to, they can get out into the street, where a car could have been waiting for them.
But why did they want to disappear?
They were supposedly seen in this English shopping mall a few days ago.
The man who claims this did not report it to the police.
He says that they are adult women, and it's none of his business what they do.
I contacted the shopping center to ensure that the camera footage was not deleted and I also notified the Scottish Police, but I am also in contact with the family, who are still hoping that the girls will show signs of life sooner or later.
The 32-year-old girls seemed to have been swallowed by the earth in Scotland. They were last seen at the foot of a bridge. That's all the world knows about them, and that's all our reporter, Krisztina Vermes, knows about them. Because even though the girls have lived in the city for ten years, almost no one knew them.

I felt like I had to look at the scene again this time at night, at the exact time, after two in the morning, when the brothers disappeared. How busy the place is, what the lights are like, how dark it is there, how deserted the banks of the River Dee in that part.
-It's half past two in the morning now, around this time the Huszti twins arrived at this bridge, the Victoria Bridge, they walked across it before they disappeared. This is where the camera recorded them, or if the camera, ours, is looking there, we can see that there is a large, completely dark part here by the banks of the River Dee, where they supposedly went down and disappeared from there, because the other camera on the other side,
at the boat club, the boat club, didn't record them anymore.
I went down to the river bank in the dark, just like they did just before they disappeared.
-According to the camera footage, they walked down the beach here, and they didn't go out from here either this way or the other, right? And if I turn off the light now, you can see how dark it is. The lights on the bridge give a little light, but further in there it's almost completely dark.
Before I went home, I went out to the beach where they continued the search. There was a huge windstorm in Scotland over the weekend, which paralyzed air traffic for days. Now that the storm has subsided, they can continue the search. Several kilometers from here is the river where the twins disappeared, where they were last seen on camera. The Scottish police, Scotland Yard, is not investigating the case further because there is no crime, but they are looking for them as missing persons. Several helicopters fly over this beach every day, and they are also monitoring and investigating other sections of the coast.
Krisztina Vermes reported for TV2 from Scotland.
An unexpected turn of events took place over the weekend.
I received a message from the admin of the Facebook group called Criminology Sisters, saying that the twins had supposedly been seen in an English city, at least that's what a commenter claimed.
I looked it up on a map. Weston Favell is 8 hours away from Aberdeen, which is no longer Scotland,
but since it's still Great Britain, they could have gotten there without a passport, by car, bus, or boat.
It's interesting that there are several holes in the fence on the banks of the River Dee. This footage clearly shows that if someone wants to, they can get out into the street, where a car could have been waiting for them.
But why did they want to disappear?
They were supposedly seen in this English shopping mall a few days ago.
The man who claims this did not report it to the police.
He says that they are adult women, and it's none of his business what they do.
I contacted the shopping center to ensure that the camera footage was not deleted and I also notified the Scottish Police, but I am also in contact with the family, who are still hoping that the girls will show signs of life sooner or later.

Kriszina Vermes' report on the missing twins begins at 24:55.
TV2 Play
The mystery of the Hungarian twins who disappeared in Scotland has sent shockwaves through half of Europe. Our colleague traveled 3,000 kilometers to help with the search. Krisztina Vermes found the siblings' apartment, spoke to friends and witnesses. Her private investigation was even featured in the local newspaper. She uncovered shocking details. What could have happened to them? We'll tell you everything we know after the commercial.
The 32-year-old girls seemed to have been swallowed by the earth in Scotland. They were last seen at the foot of a bridge. That's all the world knows about them, and that's all our reporter, Krisztina Vermes, knows about them. Because even though the girls have lived in the city for ten years, almost no one knew them. Their disappearance is also very confusing. My colleague didn't travel to Scotland to pick up on the girls' cold traces, but to start an investigation. He surprised the locals so much that he even made it into the local newspaper: one of the daily newspapers did an interview with him. The police found no trace. As of today, they have suspended the search for the girls in the river. However, Kriszta has discovered shocking things. Our exclusive report is coming!
-I haven't spoken to him since August! And then I saw it on the news, oh! Not good!
-They were looking for them on this stretch in the first few days.
-Nobody... had even heard of them.
-Why they came here is actually quite strange.
Three weeks. That's how long it's been since the Huszti twins disappeared in Scotland. Everyone is talking about it, the mysterious disappearance of the Hungarian girls has sent half of Europe into a frenzy.
"They could have been kidnapped."
"They must have gotten involved in something."
"They left on purpose, they wanted to disappear."
"They went on by boat."
“I think they committed suicide together.”
“Someone from their past must have shown up that made them run away.”
There are many versions surrounding this dramatic case that is worthy of a crime story. But we look at the facts. We don't know much more than the information published in the British news and the statement of the Scottish police. That's why I decided to travel to Scotland and try to get answers to my questions in person.
-I'm going to Scotland. The cameraman is waiting outside. I mean, in Scotland. He lives there. And we'll investigate, we'll investigate... We'll look at the place where the girls disappeared, the twins.
To find friends. To find acquaintances. To go to their workplaces, their apartments and the place where they disappeared. In short, I'm going to investigate. I'm going to try to get closer to the truth.
I arrived in Scotland. From here it will be a three-hour drive. My first trip from the airport was to a Hungarian restaurant in the city of Aberdeen. Its owner, Enrico, and his wife Marcsi have been running the restaurant for more than fifteen years. They were also shocked by the news of the missing Huszti twins. You will understand why this is my first stop.
-Basically, Aberdeen is a fairly calm city. So it was not frequented in terms of crime. You don't have to be afraid on the streets if someone needs to go somewhere at night. So it is absolutely a unique case. This shocked the Scots as much as it did us and the story has received quite a lot of publicity. From the BBC to the local Press and Journal... they are covering the topic everywhere.
In addition to running the restaurant, Enrico and his family are the engines of the Hungarian community living here. They know everyone, but interestingly, they had never even heard of the Huszti twins until their disappearance. But not only them, but no one from the two thousand-person community, so the girls arrived in the city 10 years ago.
-Nobody had heard of them, so absolutely no one knew them. That was very strange to me.
January 7, 2025. A Scottish woman reports to the police that her tenants, the Hungarian Huszti twins, have disappeared. The landlord allegedly received a strange message from the girls at 2:12 a.m., stating that they were terminating the lease and would never return. After that, they could not be reached.
However, all their belongings were in the apartment, even their phones.
The Scottish police immediately began a search. The two siblings were captured on a street camera on the bridge over the River Dee, but according to the camera footage, they never returned to their apartment.
Ice floes were floating on the river. It was minus 7 degrees that day, and it had even snowed before.
Everyone's first thought was that they might have slipped or jumped into the river on purpose.
In such cold, even a few minutes can be fatal due to hypothermia. But the divers found nothing, and they are still searching for them.
January 17. Ten days later, new camera footage was found, which clearly shows that Eliza and Henrietta had been in the same place the day before, as if they had surveyed the terrain. The newspapers wrote about it for days.
Before leaving home, I contacted the Scottish police. I wanted to ask them for an interview, but they said in writing that they could not say anything new, so I started a private investigation.
The next morning I gathered all the information from the newspaper articles, comments and rumors that had been published so far. Let's start at the beginning.
The girls are triplets. They have another sister who lives in Hungary with her family, and they also have a brother. I called him on the phone, but no one from the family is here in Scotland. József spoke to me for the first time about his sisters and how bad the family is in this ongoing wait.
-The truth is that the authorities are investigating, my sister is in contact with them on a daily basis. There are a lot of possibilities, and scenarios, right, but unfortunately I don't know what it is at all... it's really bad for us that they're looking for them in the icy river, for example. It's simply inconceivable that they'd just leave on their own, or I don't know, I have no idea what to do.
Their mother was the last person in the family to speak to them.
-They didn't say anything, that they were going to quit the apartment, or that they were going to do anything, or that they were leaving Scotland. No, no, they didn't say anything.
The family had never been to Scotland in ten years, and the girls had only been home twice, in 2019 and 2022.
With the photo of the Huszti twins in my hand, I went to the street, Charlotte Street, where the girls rented the apartment. According to the people who live here, this is a cheaper area, many young people rent apartments here.
I went through the houses, rang the bell of each apartment. I also showed them the photo of the girls, but in vain. The passers-by couldn't help either.
-Do you know them?
-No.
-Thank you.
No, this is the umpteenth no. But everyone has heard about their disappearance.
-They didn't live here.
-I sincerely hope they are found. I hope they are found as soon as possible. It is a mystery.
-I saw them on the news, but I don't know anything.
I was starting to lose hope. Then, after an hour and a half of asking, luck smiled at me.
This girl not only knows where they live, but she also regularly sees them smoking.
-They were alone, always alone. I saw them walking down the street.
-They didn't have a car?
-No, no, no, no, no. Sometimes I saw them smoking, standing there by the parking lot.
-Where did they live? Could you show me, please?
-Sure.
-In this building?
-They lived in this one, and I used to see them smoking there on the corner. They always stood here. When one of them stood that way, the other one always looked towards them. It was very strange that they were so in sync with each other.
While we were talking at the house, a resident just came by. However, he did not want to comment or let me in.
But I did not give up. I kept ringing the doorbells of the residents. In case a neighbor would tell me something.
Suddenly someone opened the door.
I knocked on every apartment in the stairwell from the bottom up, and then I saw the police paper. They even put a padlock on the door.
-Look what I have here. I have it. There is also a police paper outside the door.
We found the apartment where the girls lived. This was the apartment they left from. And the landlord reported their disappearance to the police from there.
-It says that the Scottish police wanted to talk to Eliza and Henrietta Huszti on January 7, 2025.
The immediate neighbor only opened the door after knocking several times.
-Hello! My name’s Krisztina Vermes. I’m from Hungary.
-OK.
-Hi, I'm doing a report on the missing girls.
-Oh, okay, yes.
-Do you know them?
-I don't know them, I've never spoken to them, I've only seen them sometimes. I'm afraid I don't know anything, I'm sorry.
-Have you lived here for years too?
-No, not that long ago, so unfortunately I can't help you, sorry.
-Thank you very much, thank you, goodbye!
I also found the shop where Heni and Eliza often went to buy Hungarian spices.
-They were very nice girls, very kind, we like them. We always greeted each other on the street. It's very unfortunate what happened. I saw them on Facebook and I was very sad that they disappeared.
I arranged a meeting on the street with a young Hungarian man, Kristóf, who has also lived here in Aberdeen for years.
-Hi! Krisztina Vermes.
-Hi!
-Thank you very much for coming and for helping me.
-Well, it's nothing.
Kristóf agreed to take me around the city in his car. He knows the area well. And although he didn't know the girls, he was very shaken by their disappearance.
(in the car)
-You could have come down this road on foot?
-Yes, yes, yes, most likely yes, you could have come down this road.
-But it's not close to their apartment.
-Well, it's about a half hour, 40 minute walk. (on the bridge) Right, what's really strange is that about half an hour after two in the morning... what brings the two girls to this part of town. Nothing comes here at two in the morning, in fact it's practically a dog walk here.
If someone wants to get to the boat club, they might come here, but definitely not at night.
Because how can they be drunk here and the riverbank is very slippery at this time of day. But you can't fall into the water unless someone wants to jump in voluntarily. The boathouse at the end of the road is on camera, but the girls aren't visible in the footage.
The next day I continued my investigation in a shopping mall. Heni worked in this café for many years. His colleagues haven't spoken to anyone yet. That's why I tried it here too. The management wouldn't allow the interview, but I found out some interesting things off camera. It may not be a coincidence that Heni disappeared during his three-day vacation. It's also interesting that he's been very tense lately, supposedly he's had problems sleeping.
I also found Eliza's former boss, who only and exclusively agreed to give me an interview. He received us at his apartment. The 32-year-old girl worked for him as a cleaner for 6 years, then unexpectedly quit in August.
-One day I got a text message saying she had found another job. She stayed for two weeks.
I asked if she had been acting strangely lately, to which I got a surprising answer.
-I noticed that she had lost a lot of weight. She had obviously lost a lot of weight. That was the one thing I noticed. I didn't want to ask because she could have been on a diet, but her face had sunken in. The pictures that the police released don't look like that now, because she was much thinner when she left us.
The man also told me that Eliza used to clean a teen disco not far from the place where the girls disappeared. He knew the area well, and according to her former boss, the girl always walked everywhere.
I contacted one of the largest local newspapers in Aberdeen and asked them for an interview. After the police, they are the ones who must know everything about the case. They can go places that others cannot.
Ross, the reporter for the Press & Journal, immediately accepted me. We agreed that he would do an interview if he could do one with me in return.
When they heard about this special case from the police report, they immediately got to work with their colleagues, which they have been dealing with every day since then.
-This is a very serious case. There have been many articles in the local newspapers, and of course in international media, such as the BBC, the Daily Record and the Daily Mail.
For now, it is a mystery to them too, how the twins could have disappeared without a trace.
-There are many unsolved cases, but I believe, I hope that this mystery will be solved as soon as possible,
because I think all of us, the Hungarian people and especially the family, and here in Aberdeen, really want these women to be found safe and sound.
I call the female landlord of the girls' apartment, but as soon as she heard why I was looking for them, she immediately hung up.
-No, thanks.
-She hung up.
I felt like I had to look at the scene again this time at night, at the exact time, after two in the morning, when the brothers disappeared. How busy the place is, what the lights are like, how dark it is there, how deserted the banks of the River Dee in that part.
-It's half past two in the morning now, around this time the Huszti twins arrived at this bridge, the Victoria Bridge, they walked across it before they disappeared.

Excellent report, thanks so much for posting.

View attachment 561319Former boss of missing Eliza Huszti baffled by sisters' disappearance
Scott Bousfield described Eliza, who vanished with her sister Henrietta near the River Dee, as a 'happy, outgoing kind of person'.
''It’s understood Eliza worked as a cleaner at a different firm up until her disappearance, while Henrietta worked at Costa Coffee.''
''Mr Bousfield, who last spoke to Eliza in August, has been in contact with the police and the Huszti family following their disappearance.''
Scott Bousfield was Eliza Huszti's boss for over six years.
I was curious about when she last worked for those 6 yrs with that company and had fellow co-workers and how long was the time span until her disappearance?
Even though the sisters appear to have been private women there's still things/changes about us that co-workers can pick-up especially if one is with a company for years.
Was it last August when she left that place of employment or did her old boss just run into her and had a chat?
Well probably never know.
Thanks again.

So it was last August Eliza ended her employment.
Drugs can also do that.

What's all this about? Has anyone else heard this?
I'm reading the comments backwards and my comments reflect that. lol
imo:
Her boss also has a concerning loss of weight appearance.
A haunting look.
She worked in a cafe.
Was she/they starving and too polite to ask at work for help/food?
