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

[Moonchild90]

Sadly, it seems that they both went into the River Dee. Police are now searching the coast.

Police will have more information than is made public. Perhaps they have got info from work colleagues or family members, perhaps a note was left behind and coupled with the fact they haven't been seen leaving the riverside they will be confident that they went into the river.

The family won't be telling the media about any issues that may have been going on, but they would have told the police any such matters.

It reminded me of the lady in Prestwick back in 2005.

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti: Search for sisters widens to coast

Relatives in Hungary urged people not to spread "unfounded rumours" about the disappearance of Eliza and Henrietta Huszti .

It reminds me of Nicola Bulley : (

-What made them come to Scotland 7 years ago, aged 25? (Love interest, loved the location, fresh start, careers? Note, they both held current jobs, but not careers that would pull you away from your home country.)

<snipped for focus>

LOTS of people from the EU have settled in the UK, particularly from Eastern Europe, in jobs such as these that many might not describe as "career" jobs.

A better view of the path

The girls sister said she believed. The girls sister also lived in another country. I just don’t feel we can rely on this as concrete characteristic of them.

Yes that's true, obviously not concrete, but equally it's not like they are teenagers and she is a parent, I don't see a reason why they would hide it from her if they were in the habit of going out at night sometimes.

 

[seasideForest]

For a couple of quiet women, why choose such a public way to end your life, with the whole country out looking for them.

If they did in fact end their own lives, then it has become public only afterwards. It's not as if they fatally harmed themselves in a packed concert hall or at a major airport. If you want to end your life, you might not be too concerned about what happens afterwards. MOO

Slipping into a cold river in January in the middle of the night strikes me as being a very private way to go in fact.

A better view of the path

While the path gets close to the water it still looks like it's not possible to end up in the water simply by a misplaced step.

It's not a steep embankment or sheer drop directly into the water. Looks to be some rock/foliage by the path before the waters edge.

I agree, a desire for privacy would go a long way to explaining both the location and the timing.

I don’t believe for a minute that this is a double suicide.
I think this is a very tragic accident - most likely one sister slipped from the bank into the water and the second tried to save the first with accidental drowning for both.
I think there is still a very very slim chance of foul play/ abduction.
I fully realize that there are young people who choose suicide but I would be absolutely shocked if that turns out to be the case here.
Praying for this sweet family- this is such a sad story.
All imho

but why else would they go out for a walk along the river at 2 a.m.??

Along a path which isn't really a shortcut to anywhere they couldn't have got to via the safer, well-lit streets...

Exactly.

Would CCTV placed at the back of the industrial buildings catch their movement if they stayed on the path? (Assuming there was some lighting around the buildings?)

I might just add personally, that for women from Eastern/Central Europe, it is pretty normal in our culture to walk everywhere, at any time. It's considered safe (or used to be!). Since I emigrated here myself, I used to walk by myself to work in the middle of the night. Some of my shifts would start at 4 am and the quickest way to work was going via path next to canal and I would walk there at 3 am by myself. I remember being offered a lift many times by my British colleagues but I would always decline as I saw it as a normal thing to do.
I just look back now, and I think how lucky I was that nothing ever happened to me and that I would never walk alone again!
So, if they had somewhere to go, I'm assuming they could have taken a shortcut but like others had said there wasn't really anything significant near.

Snipped...
Given the only last sighting was of the women entering the path and that it's believed they didn't leave the area.
There was either CCTV by the boating clubs that didn't show them (they didn't make it that far), or possibly CCTV on the street across from the park which shows they didn't come through the park back to the street.

A few pages back I highlighted that if they were supposed to be heading back onto the street towards the roundabout, they took a longer route to get there from the location of the CCTV image of them from earlier. There was a more direct walking route to that area than the route they took.

Search for missing twin sisters enters fifth day as police comb River Dee

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti were last seen on CCTV on Market Street at Victoria Bridge in Aberdeen around 2am on Tuesday.

news.stv.tv

On Sunday, police were seen searching the River Dee amid freezing conditions, with patches of ice and snow visible on the water. The search for the sisters has included the police helicopter, dog branch and marine unit, as well as emergency service partners.

CCTV footage from the area where Eliza and Henrietta were last seen is also being examined, with door-to-door enquiries being carried out. Officers added the Dee remains the focus of searches, as there is no evidence the missing women left the immediate area.

... there is no evidence the missing women left the immediate area.

[rbm]

I think this says it all. They would've checked CCTV and not seen them on any other footage. That would presumably include any abduction.

IMO they're in the river, unfortunately.

After looking on google maps, it seems the police are going backwards maybe to trace the sisters' steps.

However, I had thought I was reading everywhere that the sisters walked over the bridge, which would not be the case I think if the police are searching roads before the path near the river.

I think they would have taken a longer route if they thought they were being followed or if the longer route was leading them to their destination.

They entered where the blue dot is.

Would any businesses from those streets be open around 2am?

 

[Kittypoo]

I was thinking the same. People can hide things from family but especially so when in another country. I'm taking the out of character and no mental health issues with a pinch of salt. People often change when they move to a different country, their attitudes to life, habits, hobbies. Would family really know if the ladies were partial to a 2am walk or not? Just because you are not aware of something doesn't mean it does not exist.

I wonder if they had needed to make ends meet and taken up sex work or met someone through an online app. Not something you’d probably share with your family either.
Just a thought
