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

That was exactly my thoughts, that they found something in the flat that indicated they intended to harm themselves. However, news reports repeatedly state:
“There's nothing specific within the properties to suggest that they had either an intention to disappear or an intention to do themselves harm.”

Something doesn’t add up.

What police said about missing Aberdeen sisters as search enters second week

Police Scotland held a press conference today, as part of the ongoing search into two missing sisters who vanished in Aberdeen.

It doesn't really does it ? Must have been something though to make the landlady call the police so quickly and for them to get straight on the case.

I have friends that came to the US from Ireland in their late teens to work as nannies while continuing their education. They had several friends that also came to the US from Ireland and a few other countries. It was not uncommon for them to rent a room/apartment from an older relative or family friend that could sort of keep an eye on them in case they needed anything since their family was so far away.

Although these sisters are much older than my friends were, I believe there are a lot of families/cultures where this still occurs. I wonder if their landlord (male or female) was someone known to the sisters’ family back in Hungary and may have had a deeper relationship with them beyond a typical landlord-tenant relationship.

That seems plausible to me . However , as other posters have said “ an item was found belonging to the girls” is cryptic and odd
Could the item have been something illegal ?? Could it have been a flight ticket home to Hungary and the dates been forfeited.

Have they got mixed up in something ?
If they were suicidal odd that no one had picked up the signs , and odd that they would not leave a note for their triplet sister in particular
Has she been questioned ? Can she shed any light on?

I wonder if life away from home wasn’t what they hoped it would be and if a possible eviction (speculating!) and financial problems (again speculating!) proved too much (pride, admitting their “failure” to their family) ..?

I’m wondering this too … if they had got themselves caught up in something that they couldn’t bear family finding out about
Eg only fans pictures
Financial debt
Unwanted pregnancy
Scandal of some sort

the item found belonged to “ one of the girls” and yet both seem to have decided to leave the house with the intention of suicide

Or perhaps only the one who left her phone behind really meant it and the other jumped in to save her. Perhaps the late night walk was because one sister was trying to counsel the other

I was thinking maybe one was terminally ill?

How the case of the missing Huszti sisters in Aberdeen is just as mysterious a week after they disappeared

The sisters were last seen on CCTV taking a 2am walk in freezing temperatures - with no one able to determine why the women were even out at that time in the first place.

In the picture taken from CCTV the sister on the right has a handbag whilst the sister on the left is carrying something in her right hand. I think it is very doubtful they were intent on suicide.

I'm just catching up on a few pages of posts and several news articles.

It seems we now know it was a land lady, who did not live with them, and that the women had given her notice to vacate. What we don't know is why. We also don't know where, if anywhere, they intended to move to. It seems we don't even know exactly when they gave notice and when they planned to leave as all that has been wishy washy, and somewhat contradictory, in the press. Were they struggling financially? Had they planned to downgrade their accommodation? Move in with friends or a share house situation to save money? Call it quits and move back to Hungary? Call it quits permanently?

An exert from the article below:

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.”

I'm assuming this was a legal tenancy agreement, with a required amount of notice to be given? A few days (I assume 2 or 3 days?) prior to the Tuesday they gave notice. (Side note, they spoke with their mother on the Saturday beforehand....I believe it was about a 40 minute phone call. Is this normal for them?) To me, this would indicate they planned to leave in about a month, or are laws different in Scotland? Could it have been a short term rental place where you pay week to week? It seems like they gave notice and had planned to vacate all within a short period of time, but the fact it was "open ended" suggested nothing was set in stone. I wonder what made the landlady feel she needed to make enquiries so soon? I wonder whether their residence looked like they were planning on moving? Stuff packed up, or business as usual? I'm assuming they hadn't sold off or moved any belongings in the days prior or we'd know about it. Was there next to nothing in their home at the time the landlady entered? Did they usually live very sparsely? Had she entered before to see how they lived? Obviously something she saw gave her enough concern to get police involved. What are the "materials" listed in the article if not possessions? Something to indicate they had planned to "drink the cool aid" or similar? Illicit drugs? Plane tickets? I wouldn't describe plane tickets or the like as materials or possessions, more like "items". The fact that things "had been left within the address" suggests to me that they had moved most of their things out and that it was quite sparse. If you aren't in the process of moving, then things aren't "left", they're just there. Or am I reading too much into each line?

By all accounts, the sisters lived normal, quiet, almost boring, lives. Were employed, had friends and a social life. Still no mention of love interests though. Did they speak to any of their friends about money concerns, or the fact they were planning to move? (If indeed they were). It's not unusual to tie up lose ends before ending your life. Maybe giving notice to vacate was one of them. It would also explain a 2am walk by a dark river, with no people or cameras around. One article mentions it was a fairly direct route taken to the river, was that an error? From what I've gathered here, it seems it wasn't? Regardless, if it wasn't a choice to enter the river, then what were these quiet homebodies doing out, in a dark secluded area, at 2am on a random Tuesday?

I'd love to know the family dynamic here. Were these sisters the intrepid stars of the family, bravely making a better life for themselves in far away lands? Was the entire family proud of them for moving and seeking a better life? Did they financially help people back home? Were they getting financial help from home? What was their life like in Hungary? Poor, middle class, upper class? Are their other family members all employed? Did they have an extreme amount of pressure (external or internal) to succeed and felt like they were failing everyone? Had they ever been back home to visit, or have family visit them? And again, what brought them to Scotland in the first place?

All speculation and MOO.

From the Sky report posted above.


No one can determine why on Earth the Huszti sisters were even out at that time of the morning in the first place.

Officers say they had not been in the pub and the route they picked along the river was leading to nothing.

We are told the CCTV cameras in the area have the ability to pick up audio. Specialists have been drafted in to interrogate any possible clues.

There is no questioning the intensity of the relentless land, air and water searches but as the days go by the police seem no closer to cracking this mysterious case.

I'm stuck on the word "materials" found. Not "items", not "possessions", not "objects" not "paperwork", but "materials".
Materials that would cause concern, but not indicate they planned to harm themselves, according to the police quote.

If it wasn't the cool aid (or is it kool aid? I'm not American), then could it have been something like bomb making materials? Hardcore religious ideology materials? I'm struggling to think of things that would be referred to as materials and not items. Anyone got any thoughts?

I too wondered about what they meant by materials. I did wonder if did actually did mean paper work and documents . Maybe they were into crafts and they were sewing/ knitting/ art materials.

Cannabis plants and growing equipment and materials?

Moo...maybe some books on specific subjects?..moo

Materials? - Rope left out, empty bottle of pharmaceuticals, threatening note from a stalker of some type or another?
Speculation.

 

[MollyHarps]

I’m still struggling to understand the whole land lady raising the alarm with police.

From my experience renting out a second property - I would never dream of entering the property without prior permission from the tenants - for her to attend the property on the day they went missing and then raise the alarm with police suggests that she might have been sent something that raised her concerns.

Due to ‘some’ materials is such a vague statement that could literally mean anything imo

I've just had a look at the above map on Google maps. If the red line is accurate, does this place their home roughly around 21 Crown Street? If they wanted to go to that specific part of the river, there seems to be a more direct route. Down Crown St, then Portland St, Down S College St, cross the river on A956 (or is that some type of freeway without pedestrian access?)up S Esplanade W, then access the river path.

Rope could be seen as a material item, but if that didn't indicate self harm, what would it indicate? Empty pharmaceutical bottle would indicate the same. A note from a stalker, yes, but wouldn't explain the walk at 2am, and being captured walking normally.

I'm not trying to shoot down your ideas, I'm just not sure they fit the "materials, but not ones that indicate self harm" aspect.

Maybe the women had returned their keys ,maybe by post or by putting them through the landlord's letter box ,sometime before their 2 am walk.

 

[HoneyBunOne]

Maybe the materials were sexually explicit items or photos? That would tie in with the shame/embarrassment theory someone else had. But surely you'd dispose of those first? Or maybe they were left as a clue to why they did what they did. If indeed they did.

I keep thinking about the apparent lack of romantic interests. I don't think it's normal to not have had any relationship by the age of 32. (I have no idea about Hungarian cultural norms, maybe that's not odd) They may very well have had some, but there has been no mention of partners, current or former. It seems to be a missing aspect of their lives. Did they have romantic/sexual secrets? Ones they deemed shameful? Ones that had recently been uncovered? Were they being blackmailed? It all seems a little far fetched and clutching at straws, but what else do we have?
