The pair were last seen on CCTV in Market Street at Victoria Bridge around 2.12am on Tuesday, 7 January, 2025. They have crossed the bridge and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee heading in the direction of the Aberdeen Boat Club.

I have thought as they were both in employment, there may have been mention if one of them was so unwell. For example that she had been off work sick recently. I do wonder about their feelings of providing for family in Hungary and their salaries left little money left over. Part of my nursing career involved international recruitment of nurses when we had a massive shortfall. Active campaigns included Eastern Europe. The nurses had an incredibly strong commitment to sending a large chunk of their salaries home. The same for Filipino nurses. Our nurses from Bulgaria didn’t know what a Care home was either as they take care of their own. They often scrimped on socialising etc to ensure they were enabling family back home to have a better life. I won’t say any more as I feel as if I am disrespecting them and financial burdens are private. I am just so sad for anyone when life becomes so hard.

Exactly my own thoughts re caring for the family in their homeland. (Experience with Indians and Filipinos.) I think, the sisters won't have told the truth in a farewell letter, because it would have sounded like an accusation to the family members. Poor girls; I am so sad about their fate.

If there was an underlying health issue, it's just as likely to be a mental health one. Perhaps one sister reached a point of resolve, and their bond being what was, the other didn't want to two things -- for her sister to die alone and to be left alone herself. A sad, sad pact.

From the little we know about them I can well imagine them not wanting to be separated no matter what.

I actually am a little surprised they worked separate jobs. I’ve thought that since the beginning

Must admit I had similar thoughts. We know Eliza had worked for six years in her previous job before taking a job at Holiday Inn. Henrietta was working at Costa but I don't think it's been said for how long or anything about her previous employment history. Both in low paying jobs and perhaps that was all they could get?

Not sure if the above has been posted (threads shifting a lot) just sharing in case not.

Rest in peace.

Thoughts are with the family.

Could the end have played out along the lines of something like this - they took a high dosage of sleeping pills beforehand which put them in a semi conscious state enabling them to wade out calmly without any fear, into the depths of the river which eventually enveloped them and with their bulky clothes weighed them down.
It makes it less terrifying to imagine that scenario for these poor sisters that the end for them could have actually been quite peaceful.

Police Scotland stated from the start they entered the water and they probably thought there was a 20% chance they would have been eventually found. They knew they entered the water. They would of course have had a doubt they may never be found due to the proximity to the North Sea but they were certain they entered the water. Which they did. Voluntarily. Thankfully they were found.

I hope they rest in peace.

Saving up to buy property could be a very reasonable way to fend off pressure to travel home more frequently. Purely speculative, of course.

If they were telling their family that they were moving to Scotland to save money to buy property and then they were unable to actually save any money, even with both of them working, it could have been a distressing situation since their family believed that they were. The brother especially seemed to believe this. I could see them not wanting to disappoint their family but also knowing that they were in a somewhat hopeless and desperate position. Maybe that's why they didn't share their struggles or let them know they were not okay. This is of course pure speculation and my opinion only as we may never know their true intentions.

I know MSM states that the twins were originally from Hungary, and we know they lived recently in Aberdeen, but I wonder if one or both of them lived in or went to university in another country between leaving Hungary and arriving in Scotland.

from: Former boss of missing Eliza Huszti baffled by sisters' disappearance

Scott Bousfield, who employed Eliza at Abz Cleaning Solutions for six years

[...]

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

So, why would she know that area so well? I wonder if at some point Henrietta or Eliza did cleaning at the Aberdeen Boat Club (ABc), worked at the coffee shop there, or belonged to the ABc rowing team.

My thoughts are that these girls are a tragic example of what can happen when people leave everything they have known to start a new life, and in reality find themselves in a hopeless situation.

Aberdeen is a beautiful and diverse city, but as a softy southerner (me) it is often very cold with grey skies. We’ve all had a miserable winter here weather-wise which can obviously feel oppressive.

They were working in jobs which in all probability were minimum wage. Quite often people who arrive in the UK have university degrees from their home country (I don’t know if that’s true here), but end up taking “entry level” jobs. Working as a cleaner, you may not have much opportunity to improve your English and therefore advance, especially if you did not socialise. Costa Coffee is a chain but promotion prospects are limited.

The main interaction I’ve read about is the sisters buying spices in a Hungarian store, so they may not have integrated to make friends and improve language skills. From what I’ve read, it seems they pretty much just had each other in Aberdeen.

For a two bedroom flat, it would be around £150,000 to buy meaning they would have had to save maybe £15,000 for a deposit. With their monthly outgoings and cost of living increasing, they may have found it difficult to save much.

Of course there must have been additional triggers and factors which led to the tragedy which we will probably never know, and many thousands of people live happily in similar circumstances. But my heart just goes out to people brave enough to start a whole new life, who then face such a tough struggle just to get by.

It may also be the case they felt under pressure to appear to be doing well to their family and that was becoming unbearable. Not sure we know very much about how regularly they were in contact with their family. We know there were calls around new year but that's a time when families regularly catch up. Whether they had other regular calls I don't know, and if so whether that was with specific family members.

Yep, Police Scotland were right from the beginning. They just had to bide their time until they were found.

On the previous thread, on the post where someone had translated the investigation of the Hungarian reporter, I think it was said that she cleaned a teen disco/club in the area - not the boat club.
