I just wish a family member or someone close to these women could put forth a reason for why these women would need so much stealth and secrecy in order to leave town. Absent that, it is hard to hold out hope that they are alive somewhere IMO.

I know. It’s so baffling in that respect.
Something / anything.

I dont know, there are easier ways to commit suicide than jumping in the river. <modsnip - inaccurate>

But not sure what unpublished information LE is having that we do not know.

Police dismiss claim missing Aberdeen sisters 'partied' before disappearance

Media reports in their native Hungary claimed Eliza and Henrietta Huszti had been out partying with a 'group of males' before vanishing - a theory which has been dismissed by police.

I’m just catching up on this thread. I don’t wish to offend but I think they look much older than 32. This makes me wonder whether they’ve had a hard life in some regard. Let’s also not forget how much tougher things have become in the UK in general, as living costs have spiralled and services have been cut. JMO.

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?

People who know twins can usually tell them apart, IMO. One of the pairs of twins I knew, years ago, were incredibly similar, and it took me a couple of years to work out how to distinguish them. Here's how: when it was David I didn't know which one it was. When it was Martin, I was almost (but not quite) sure it was Martin. You see? Very subtle. It took me ages to realize what was happening. But in my experience, identical twins aren't exactly identical, not to people who know them well.

I dont know, there are easier ways to commit suicide than jumping in the river. Also they have been out with some male friends - it reminds me of Hannah Kobayashi, who eventually was found safe.

But not sure what unpublished information LE is having that we do not know.

Just because there are easier ways doesn't mean it didn't happen, or is even unlikely. Suicides by water aren't uncommon in the UK, I can think of a couple cases just off the top of my head. In the decade 2011-2021, there were 442 suicides by water submersion/drowning in Scotland alone. Walking into freezing cold water together might have seemed peaceful to them.

I think it depends on which photos you look at. They look very different in some pictures. The one taken with their brother for example looks very different and they look a lot older even though presumably its an older picture.

Definitely. Especially for someone working in hospitality.

I wonder if their intention was to use their savings to buy a home in Scotland or a home in Hungary. And if they left their home country specifically with this objective in mind, or were motivated by other reasons too...
I must say it caught my attention that the fact they were saving money was mentioned quite early on.

The sisters were quite young when they left Hungary for Scotland, 22 yrs old if they have lived in Scotland for 10 yrs.
I haven't read that they had relatives in Scotland when they moved there.
It's not like they moved there to follow their careers/ professions.
That's quite adventurous of them.

 

[UnderSea]

The bigger question if their bodies are recovered, which most likely we'll never get an answer to, is what was so horrific about their lives that they agreed that committing suicide was their only way out?
Nothing about the 2 women's actions makes sense to me, not that it is expected.

Just a quick note here that for those with a mental illness such as depression that progresses to a life threatening point, the most loving families and the most perfect of lives cannot offset the excruciating mental pain they feel. There are reasons people end their lives that have nothing to do with mental illness, but for those that do, the depth of suffering is very often invisible.

It is adventurous indeed!
When I lived abroad I met many young people from Poland, Slovakia and Hungary who had decided to emigrate in order to be able to save money faster. Motivations are of course different depending on the person.

Well stated, sadly.

I agree, but the talk is always of mental illness and nobody ever seems to mention simple unhappiness any more. Misery and despair are not the same as clinical depression, and are not an illness; more being overwhelmed by circumstances.

Sometimes a reason for suicide is illness though. What if one (or less likely, both) of the sisters had been diagnosed with a terminal illness? As they are missing persons, I assume their medical records are still confidential, but would their doctor speak to the police if there was anything like that going on, I wonder.

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'.

Scott Bousfield was Eliza Huszti's boss for over six years.

The former boss of one of the missing Huszti sisters says Eliza would have known the area where she was last seen ‘very well’.

Scott Bousfield, who employed Eliza at Abz Cleaning Solutions for six years, is shocked and concerned by her disappearance.

Eliza and her sister Henrietta, who are part of a set of triplets, were reported missing after vanishing at 2:12am on Market Street at the Victoria Bridge area in Aberdeen on January 7.

Despite daily searches of the River Dee by specialist divers, which have now been scaled back, the sisters have not been found.

The day before they went missing, they terminated the lease on their Charlotte Street flat – something they hadn’t mentioned to their family beforehand.

Police say they have no reason to suspect any suspicious circumstances or criminality.

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.

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

He spoke to journalist Krisztina Vermes for the Hungarian news show Tények Plusz on tv2.

He said: “After we heard the news I got in contact with their brother Jozsef to say that we were very worried about her and have been following the investigation closely.

“I have given a statement to the police to help as much as possible with the inquiries.

“She would always speak to you. Just a happy, outgoing, kind of person.

“She never seemed down or sad. And she would always greet you with a smile and say, “Hello, how you doing?”

“I think I can probably count on one hand how many times she was actually off in six years.

“She always did her job to the best of her ability.

“She worked at four sites for us, and they always spoke highly of her.”

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.”

Huszti sisters’ employers share concern over missing twins

Scott also recalled meeting Henrietta Huszti on one occasion.

He said: “I met Henrietta once, and she seemed really nice. It was probably only for like, ten to fifteen minutes.

“Eliza was always very shy but Henrietta seemed less so.

“She came up to me straight away. Eliza was always very soft-spoken, but would never ignore you or anything.

“I had never seen Eliza with anyone else really, other than that time Henrietta.”

‘Enquiries ongoing’ to trace Eliza and Henrietta Huszti as River Dee search stood down

Superintendent David Howieson said: “The investigation continues to trace Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, who were last seen on Market Street at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee around 2.12am on Tuesday, 7 January, 2025.

“Our thoughts are very much with their family at what is a very difficult time.

“Extensive and detailed searches have been carried out of the River Dee and the Harbour area, using local and national specialist police resources, including the dive and marine unit, police dogs and air support, and those of partner agencies.

“These searches have now concluded at this time but enquiries will be ongoing to trace Eliza and Henrietta.

“Coastal areas, both north and south of Aberdeen city, will continue to be searched and any further information received by police will be acted upon.

“I would again stress there is nothing to suggest any suspicious circumstances or criminality.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0735 of Tuesday, 7 January, 2025.”

I wonder where exactly “down there” they worked. Curious, not sure it matters.

excellent reference to ‘misery and despair’. You are so right, very different to clinical depression.

I wonder if their (presumably Hungarian) passports were current.

I wonder if Eliza worked as a cleaner for any influential people, wealthy, connected, or even criminal, and it led to serious problems.

She wasn't a private cleaner, she worked at the Holiday Inn.
