UK Eliza & Henrietta Huszti, sisters both 32, CCTV captures them near a river at 2am, Aberdeen, 7 Jan 2025 #2

[wibbleflea]

My reading of today’s reports is that the sisters told the landlady by text, at 2:12 am, that they no longer needed the apartment but the next morning, she found personal possessions inside that she wouldn’t expect them to leave behind. She may have known them well enough to feel that they wouldn’t have left those personal items in the apartment after saying they’d vacated it.

Having said that, I don’t think suicide is the only possibility. I agree with previous posts: it would be good to know more about their previous routines and about those rucksacks. If they were in trouble of any kind (financial, emotional), it’s notable that nothing has been made public by any of their coworkers, friends or family.

In the Nicola Bulley case and in similar cases where someone has disappeared close to a river/water there are usually all kinds of speculations until something turns up in the waters. Time will tell.

It's nice to see a comment made by the Hungarian community in Aberdeen. They describe the sisters as quiet and they kept their distance. It could be that the sisters didn't socialise much outside of their own little bubble and that no one really knew them on a deeper level (including their family in Hungary).

I just don’t know what to think. I hope their family gets answers and peace.

The only thing I don't understand - if this was planned self harm (as it seems)... Why all the total secrecy and (assuming) no note to loved ones?

Was it a fluke they weren't seen on CCTV after a certain point on the path or did they plan to not be seen on cameras?
Same with the backpacks from the daytime, if they stashed them on the path prior, why all the hiding of it all?

From what I know about suicide (by means no expert!), it's a personal and private thing and common to happen with a quick decision/impulsively (although idealization and the thoughts can be around for years).

I guess I am shocked they would create such a mystery about it and put friends, family, responders through all the wondering. Very sad outcome if indeed self harm

While IMO there is a very good chance that the landlady text was sent before entering the water, imo it's also possible that it was sent when they became sure some other plan was actually going to happen and they wouldn't be turning around and walking back -- the person they planned to meet showed up, they got a message they were waiting for on a burner phone, etc.

"A text message was sent from Henrietta's mobile phone to their landlady at 2.12am on Tuesday, 7 January, 2025, from the area of Victoria Bridge, indicating they would not be returning to the flat. The phone was then disconnected from the network and has not been active since."

Missing Aberdeen twin sisters made earlier visit to bridge where last spotted

CCTV footage has confirmed that the sisters missing in Aberdeen paid a prior visit to the bridge they were last seen at.

Sadly I think they entered the water. Poor girls.

I don't see how today's report changes anything really.
They may have texted the landlady because they weren't going back but that doesn't prove they went into the water voluntarily.
They may have visited the bridge earlier in the day to look for a secluded area from which they could enter the water, or perhaps for a place from which they could disappear, or where they could meet person or persons unknown.

Two things I'm thinking about - we don't know if they were wearing their rucksacks on the way back or had they hidden them somewhere to be retrieved later either by themselves or someone else?
And why switch the phone off if they were about to enter the water?

Obviously there has been some planning and preparation, but for what?

I don't know the area or tides but could they have got on a boat from where they were last seen?

Not likely. There's no boats in the immediate area. They would have had to walk down to the harbour where the ships are docked and they would definitely have been seen there.

I think messaging the landlady in the early hours is odd. They could have sent a letter in the post that day which would have arrived the day. I can’t help but wonder if something had triggered them having to move out. A possible rent increase or arrears, being asked to move out, an issue between a tenant and landlord. I find it odd that they messaged at that time when they could have done it another way. I wonder if there were previous messages between them and the landlady at odd times in the middle of the night. If there had been an issue then it could explain why their very last message was at that time to her - to basically say we are out and we are not coming back. Not a last message to family and loved ones but to the landlady. Just because they said they were not returning does not mean they were not asked to move out before then and stayed longer than they were meant to. They possibly didn’t have anywhere to go.

Does anyone find it odd that none of the neighbours, friends and work colleagues who live in Aberdeen have not commented?

Which is just on the opposite side of the bridge so not much of a walk as far as I can tell

I was just thinking that earlier. Looking at other cases everyone is all over everything and not one reliable news source has an interview

Given what likely happened, it would appear that they maybe didn’t have many close friends. Social isolation is a big risk factor for mental health issues. Perhaps Lockdown was tough for them and I know a lot of people lost social contacts during that time, as well as them not being able to visit family.

 

[Lucyblu37]

Very odd case. Was there no cctv at the boat club to be able to see if they reached it? Or as it appears to be an industrial estate other cameras would have picked them up if they would have emerged from there, hence them searching the river.
None of it makes sense but I hope they’re found safe soon.

They would definitely have been seen if they walked on the pavement on the other side of the birdge towards the harbour area, however I wonder if there's a reason why police have ruled out the sisters entering the river path and turning right under Victoria bridge. They must be certain that they carried on towards the boathouse. The water levels might have covered the path under the bridge or there might be CCTV somewhere at the other side of the bridge that they didn't appear on. Has this been covered yet?

yeah that’s what I mean. You’d have to turn onto that path and walk down a bit to get to where you can loop back under the bridge.

I’m not sure why they are certain because they, as far as we can tell, weren’t seen on the boat club cameras. I’m not sure what cameras look like on the other side, I truly don’t think it’s been discussed much

 

[Lucyblu37]

Ah, good point! Looking at Google earth it doesn’t seem there is a path to turn right and go under the bridge but that’s doesn’t mean they didn’t if they didn’t want to. There’s no path after the bridge either.
