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

[Izzylizzy]

To be fair, the authorities have never asked the public if they've seen the sisters and given full descriptions of what they were wearing at the time of their disappearances as they usually would describe what they were wearing.

They've put out the first CCTV capture to go with the initial appeals, and then the one of them visiting the bridge earlier in the day as more of an update. I believe that one is very grainy as it will be a cropped version of a much wider shot.

CCTV doesn't have to be crystal clear for them to be traced through the city. Two females, at a probably pretty quiet time of the (Monday) night will be easy to make out on even grainy footage.

One question I have with the theory of them masterminding their disappearances via the guise of suicide/accidental death by way of entering the river.

Why go to that hassle when they could probably have quietly just left their home and into a vehicle without any CCTV footage seeing them. No bank accounts used for several weeks and the conclusion would be they are missing and presumed dead without any clues of them leaving their property. They'd still be in the same situation as now, without having to walk by a river on a freezing night for the cover up.

Both scenarios require outside (underworld) help, assumes they are dead....and theoretically they can then go onto another country/area with assumed identities/smuggled across borders to start a new life?

Not sure what those thinking this is intentional disappearance are thinking is their next move or why the need to fake their death than simply just vanish?

'What have the police said?'​

"As several hours of CCTV footage are being examined by fficers, Superintendent David Howieson said: “I would again urge anyone with any information which could help find Eliza and Henrietta to get in touch."

Like it or not it takes time to review private cctv footage. Said owner might not want to pay their employee to sit and scroll through hours of taped footage.

As earlier ws poster said, some cctv cameras are 'live only' and do not record.

As earlier ws poster said, some cctv cameras are 'live only' and do not record.

I have several sites at my agency and we have 3 different levels of video 1. continuous recording 2. locations have motion only and they rewrite and 3. They have cameras that don’t record anything. In the 2nd, we likely wouldn’t even have the footage unless they were directly there to stimulate the motion and it wasn’t yet written over. The 2nd and 3rd would look to outsiders like we would have useful footage.

But this point is exactly correct, it would be costly to have someone sit and view it. And I don’t know how this works there but I would require a subpoena to release it because of the other protected items on the video. D

This all brings good points that while we all feel monitored 100% of the time, it’s way more complex

Early on they did ask, as they would have been collating on the 10th all footage they could get thier hands on, from what they have said in the most recent briefings, they seem fairly satisfied they didn’t come back out the way the went in ie by foot.

On the local radio, they said they had many days worth of video from numerous sources, thanked those who put the effort in.

It should be noted that I’m fairly sure the image from the earlier visit in the day time is from a privately owned camera on the other side of the River, which again there are several, fairly new modern systems.

It would be interesting to know what they picked up on the night of the disappearance as well as sound as mentioned by the Sun & the Police themselves.

Mystery Surrounds the Case of Missing Hungarian Twins in Scotland

"Hungarian Reporter Joins the Hunt

Krisztina Vermes, a reporter for Hungary’s television channel TV2, travelled 1,700 km to Aberdeen to investigate the disappearance of Eliza and Henrietta Huszti. Speaking to Scottish daily The Press and Journal, Krisztina described the case as deeply puzzling, stating, ‘This is a mystery. That’s why the Scottish media and the Hungarian media are still writing about it and want to know what happened.’

In her search for answers, Krisztina has reached out to the local Hungarian community in Aberdeen, hoping to gather insights that might shed light on the sisters’ fate. While the Huszti family has understandably been hesitant to speak publicly due to the emotional toll of the situation, Krisztina revealed that they are receiving daily updates on the ongoing search efforts. ‘I think all of us believe that they are still alive,’ she said, highlighting the hope that continues to unite the family and the community."

I’m sorry, this may sound insensitive or maybe misinformed — But, if the plan was a joint suicide, wouldn’t the most “practical” way to be to jump from the bridge? From what one can see on Google maps around their last sighting, the bank isn’t exactly somewhere you can jump from and go straight into deep water. It looks like you’d have to physically swim or trawl through water to get to a deep enough area. I think there’s more complexity to this case than you’d think — please do correct me if I’m wrong on details as I’ve only recently read over this case and familiarised myself.

It's been discussed a lot earlier in the threads on this case.

To jump from a bridge would take courage, could lead to unnecessary injury / prolonged suffering plus it is also a busy road which may lead to being seen and attempted interception.

An alternative assumption could be they chose the dark path as a means to go unnoticed. They also had a bag with them which could contain alcohol/pills.
They could have consumed what they had by the river side and as they became blind drunk or drowsy then went together into the water in a more "peaceful" manner.

I've checked and nothing yet from Vermes since she went to Aberdeen 5+ days ago.

Police end River Dee search for missing twins Eliza and Henrietta Huszti

Police searching for missing twins Eliza and Henrietta Huszti have emphasised there is "nothing to suggest any suspicious circumstances"…

www.heraldscotland.com

The Hungarian tabloid, Blikk, reported on Sunday that police were no longer searching in the River Dee and that officers were instead analysing phone records, text messages and correspondence.

The linked Blikk article reports that police continue to believe that no crime was committed, and it has now been revealed that Elza Huszti and Henrietta were already planning to leave Aberdeen.

I know logically people will believe they were washed out to sea. I have never budged from my gut feeling they planned to disappear. I so hope that is the case.

Just wondering what that actually means? Something else other than the message(s) to the landlady. What is the revelation that they were already planning to leave Aberdeen?

Edit: Blikk article mentions them saying to friends etc they were bored and keen to try something else. Not sure that amounts to plans though.

It wouldn't explain their leaving all their possessions behind. They might have been able to get by on cash saved up from tips, but not replace all their belongings.

Tips really aren’t much of a thing in the U.K.

Tips really aren’t much of a thing in the U.K.

Certainly not from working at Costa I imagine.counter service and I always imagine most tips are when waited on at the table. Plus the other Sister cleaned and doubt that attracts tips. I may be totally wrong of course

 

[Bigditch]

LE said something to the effect that there had been no activity on their bank accounts.

They possibly could have withdrew money prior.

Guess it depends on their bank balance(s).

As someone who worked in costa in my younger years tips weren’t a thing. Payment is on order , and the customer waits at the counter for their order. I imagine even less cash is passed in this day and age where everyone uses card payment.
