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

[TonnnnUK]

Although from the images the path is some distance from the river, being so cold and very likely icy at 2am, the icy path could easily explain one of them sliding and slipping into the river and the other one trying to help, but also falling in.

It's pretty difficult to come to the conclusion of some tragic incident like this, as they would have been on their way to some place. But their route (a few different ones) point to them going from north-west of the town across to the center and down over the bridge and back West. If they were just on their way somewhere, the most direct route wouldn't have been down market street at all...

If no one else is involved, they either fell in or jumped in.

If the police lost sight of them on the CCTV, have they excluded chance of a homeless or wandering person pushing them in?

 

[TMich6811]

They didn’t mention the screaming again as far as I can tell?

Unless that person called police that night then it’s likely an uncertain detail, I was hoping for clarification

 

[JennieM]

Where is the triplet sister? Has she offered anything about what was going on in their lives?

She lives in Hungary with the other family.

She described everything to be normal.

She lives in Hungary with the other family.

She described everything to be normal.

Thank you. They must be devastated.

They've said it's not a criminal case, it's a missing persons case.

If there were signs of a struggle on the bank, which I think there would have been had they been assaulted and thrown into the water, I doubt they would be stating clearly that they don't think it's criminal.

MOO

I would have thought cctv would have captured anyone entering or leaving the path. If they did not leave they would have been still there when police searched the area. The police appear to be very clear that no crime has been committed. I do think they have other evidence which leads them to think both women ended up in the river .

I wonder if the landlord found a note they left and then raised the alarm.

Police ruling out any third party points to them knowing already what has happened.

The only way for the police to be certain there was no criminality is for there to have been a note or some message left behind about their intentions.

It's hard to be absolutely sure, but if they went in any kind of direct route, there'll have been multiple CCTV points and people between the released photo, and the point they were last seen.

Assuming they were deliberately heading over Victoria Bridge (and it'd be a strange place to go if it wasn't deliberate) in a direct route from Charlotte Street (where the CCTV picture looks like it was released from).

We know they were at the path at Victoria bridge at 02:12am. If they were walking there directly from Charlotte Street, it's fair to say they'd have been there around 01:30>01:45. There'd still be people out and about then. They'd presumably have to walk by (at the very least) a couple of shopping centres, the main shopping street, the harbour, two oil headquarters and the bus station. There must be other footage.

There's also a camera on the roundabout by the boat club (see attached). There''s plenty of opportunity to get a taxi/car from the street that runs parallel though.

I posted last night that the bus route from the released image and even the area of reported housing to where they ended up is very similar to the path that was reported. We have questioned multiple times why they took the path they did and I’m wondering if that’s why. I don’t know why they would follow a bus path unless there was a bus running or maybe searching for something lost while on the bus, looking for someone? I’m not sure it also very likely could just be a coincidence that they took a similar path.

maybe they had taken this bus before, and followed the route they remembered? it’s something i’ve done before!

I imagine that having lived in Aberdeen for a while they would be familiar with the city and different routes in and around it.

Do we know if they were going to be ending the tenancy voluntarily or if they had been served with a notice to quit (NTQ)? It is possible that if a notice had been served, they possibly had not left on the day they were supposed to. The landlord will obviously know if it was them ending the tenancy or him ending it. If one phone was left at home and one taken with them, if there was an intended plan to enter the water voluntarily, is it possible that only one of them knew this? Could this account for the scream? One of them wants to enter the water, is it possible the other one did not know this was about to happen, screams were heard? Could they swim, did one go in to help the other?

I think if they both chose to leave the house at 2 am on a bitterly cold night and head to the river both of them knew what they were doing and why.

I didn’t realize how clearly you can see the path from the other side of the river. Surely the multitude of cameras over there could pick up something on this path somewhere. It’s not nearly as hidden as I expected it to be.

Also still leads me to ask why go all the way to the other side if your intention was to go in. This side is by a road side is by a road so I guess you risk being seen but it sounds like at 2am in this area it’s not much of a risk

I have been wondering the same about CCTV, but I very much doubt it would catch any movement from the other side of the river.

This side is very very steep and also with better lighting.

They clearly knew well the spot they picked would be dark and private at that time.

I think that any boat moving on the river would have been caught on cctv.

The boat might have been seen but not necessarily any people getting on or off it. Might be a lead they are chasing. Moo

I suspect there must have been a note either stating they were leaving or ending their lives. Moo

I think the police would have wanted to trace and speak to any boat owner sailing down the river at the same time the women were on the river path.

The sisters were definitely headed to the river path that runs alongside the boathouse, that seems to be their destination.

The fact that they were due to leave their flat is probably a trigger for their disappearance, i wonder if they had some financial difficulties and couldn't find an affordable place to move into? The landlord said that they were due to move out a few days before they went missing so it looks like they didn't have anywhere else to go.

Cops hunting for missing sisters uncover clue which led landlord to raise alarm

TWO missing twins announced they were quitting their flat days before they vanished, cops revealed today. Eliza and Henrietta Hustzi told their landlady they were planning to move from the city cen…

Eliza and Henrietta Hustzi told their landlady they were planning to move from the city centre pad. A week after they were last seen Superintendent David Howieson revealed it was their landlady who called in police. She raised the alarm after she visited the property and was worried about what was inside.

Superintendent Howieson said: “In the days preceding their disappearance the sisters had indicated to the landlord that they intended to leave their tenancy. “The timescale was pretty open-ended but obviously explicit enough that the landlady felt like an enquiry needed to be made. “They carried out enquiries at the address which has led them to be concerned about the whereabouts of the sisters.

“This was specifically due to some materials and personal possessions that had been left within the address.” Police officers found one mobile left at the flat which belonged to one of the girls.
