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

[Cherwell]

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

Not my idea - it was suggested in the Blikk article.

if they did run, and just decide to start a new life, then surely there must have been something going on in their lives to choose to do that. They’ve effectively cut off their family and friends. If there was something going on which made them make such a rash decision to run away from their lives surely anyone close to them would have noticed a change in their behaviours ?
I’m still of the opinion that they entered the water and maybe had something in their back packs to weigh them down. The question is why ? What has happened to make them either choose to run or choose to end their lives ? I definitely think more investigation needs to go into what was happening in their private lives.

And that's a very good point. CCTV isn't like the movies. It's set up to capture any potential criminal activity around a premises, it's not there to set up onto the street/path to film everyone going past. Absence of evidence isn't, evidence of absence etc.

Precisely! 100%
Crime is high in the area in question. There are lots of cameras dotted about but I know a lot of crime there goes unsolved! ALL THE TIME.

 

[lamberta]

We are not privy to what other evidence the police have. They may well have tracked vehicle and people movements on other cameras in the area, and if they had a hit they would have updated the last seen information.

We are also not privy to what else the police may know, or have seen in the flat. Or private background not shared. I’d be willing to bet whatever caused the landlady concern was a game changer though. And that no bank or credit cards, or phones, have been used.

Even the limited information out there suggests so strongly that these girls went in the water of their own accord that it wouldn’t surprise me if a somewhat limited cctv trawl has occurred because it’s hugely labour intensive.

Local police would not have done a somewhat limited CCTV trawl. Not in the slightest. They will have meticulously looked at all available recordings, but what we don't know is which cameras were fruitful and which cameras were not.
Thank you to the previous poster who explained the different levels of usage and capabilities for different types of cameras.
Police may have sourced recordings from all available cameras on that road but they may also have only sourced from 1 or 2. That level of detail won't be shared with the public.

The mystery of the missing Huszti sisters: Aberdeen bridge CCTV and abandoned tenancy

A body has now been recovered from a river near where the two missing sisters were last seen in Aberdeen

www.independent.co.uk

At 2:50pm (6. January) the twins were seen with rucksacks, but we don't know, if they still had these, when they returned to their flat. What, if they brought the rucksacks or the content of the rucksacks to the boathouse or similar, because they needed things for their night walk?
If they changed their prepared (?) clothes by night and disappeared one by one, maybe they couldn't have been discovered on surveillance as the missing twins?

What always sows doubt, is only the screaming by night.
MOO, speculation.

 

[TonnnnUK]

Given that that police released the second CCTV image of the sisters earlier in the day, where they were wearing rucksacks, and that they stated they went back to their home, then resurfaced on their final walk to the river side. Surely if the police tracked them heading back to their home they also saw they had the rucksacks on them.

Otherwise they'd be appealing for anyone having seen rucksacks if they arrived by the river with them but headed home without them. That'd be a pretty significant development.

With regards to the screams being heard. Wasn't this coming from that Hungarian news outlet which isn't deemed a very reliable source. More of a sensationalist outlet ?

I also saw it reported in the Sun ...

 

[Kassidy]

Perhaps they were witness to something nefarious in the dark, free from CCTV footage industrial area, and taken at gunpoint?

Doesn't explain WHY they were out at that hour, in a dodgy area. Perhaps they came to that area for an illegal transaction themselves? MOO.

It is a place where people hang out but it was bitterly cold and snowing that night. I doubt anyone was there at that time. They could easily have got into a car and left the area.

 

[Kassidy]

Well this gives a whole new angle and sadly indicates intentional self harm as the most likely outcome. Very sad.

Or checking out a get away route ? CCTV cameras. Alibi.

 

[Kemug]

After looking again at the photo of the sisters' walking (possibly to drown themselves), I looked more closely at what one of them was carrying in her hand. And I could easily believe it was a cannonball or similar. I suppose weights are not necessarily carried in backpacks.

A .cannonball?! Do you know how much this things weigh?! You'd never be able to life ones let alone carry one.....

River search for missing Huszti sisters in Aberdeen now finished

The sisters - both 32 and originally from Hungary - were last seen on 7 January in Aberdeen.

www.bbc.com

''Police had previously revealed the sisters visited the bridge where they were last seen the day before they disappeared.
And they texted their landlady from the bridge area in the early hours of the Tuesday when they were last seen, saying they would not return to their flat.''

You can't specify, who is who of the twins, IMO. Sometimes my thoughts are going there: Who would have an advantage of two adult girls within their "staff" (gang), who are very similar/almost unidentifiable in their looks? Would the girls be useful for someone with criminal business and could they have being forcefully groomed into this?
It seems to be a bit absurd, but. - Though there is the nightly screaming again, which contradicts nearly all assumptions.
MOO and speculation only.

ETA: I don't want to think of suicide.

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

I’ve been told by someone I know who works around there that an Eastern European journalist has been trying to speak to people in the area from the Eastern European community, I assume it is her, she’s collaborated on this, an interview with a previous employer.

They would have checked local cctv to look for any signs of the sisters moving around or leaving the area. But I don’t believe they would assign full teams to scrutinise footage further afield once they had eliminated any sightings from that vicinity. Different story if they believed a crime had been committed.

But again, we don’t know - we can only speculate.

Thanks, it still wants me to subscribe - can you tell us what the gist of it is?

Mr Bousfield, who last spoke to Eliza in August, has been in contact with the police and the Huszti family following their disappearance.

Eliza Huszti’s former boss says everyone ‘spoke highly of her’​

<modsnip: Snipped to comply with 10% copyright rule>

Eliza would know the area where the sisters disappeared ‘very well’​

Scott explained that the area where the twins went missing is one Eliza should be familiar with.

Scott said: “Eliza would know the area where they went missing very well. She used to work for us down there.”

“We do find it strange they handed the flat back. Why would they do that?”

Even at the end of her employment with Scott’s company, Eliza remained very professional.

Scott said: “One day, we got a text saying that she had found another job.

“She didn’t say what the job was, and she was handing in her two weeks’ notice, and that was that.

“It wasn’t just an I’m not coming back text, which we’ve had from cleaners.

“It was properly laid out, saying this is the day I’m starting my two weeks’ notice, and I’ll be leaving after that.”
