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

It seems strange that the sisters wanted to immediately end their tenancy agreement, it looks like they wanted to leave the flat pretty quickly but why? What would prompt them to leave in such a hurry?

It doesn't sound like they had any financial worries because, according to their brother, they were saving up to buy their own property.

As a local I can assure you no one would go that way looking for a snack. They live in the City Centre and will be aware of what's open all hours IN THE CITY. Crossing the Victoria Bridge in to Torry is not the City Centre. This is where local knowledge is essential because some theories are beyond wild.

Always get the wild theories the longer these cases go on.

So it seems like this decision to leave came almost immediately after the calls with their family? Maybe something was said which motivated them.

Following this sad case.

The only reason i am not leaning toward 'entering the water' is the lack of any belongings found.

If we think back to Nicola Bulley, Gaynor Lord etc. personal items were found in or around the river....

 

[Noseyjosie]

As to why the sisters possibly went down the path....

JMO
If I was intending to end my life in any body of water, I would choose a spot where I could walk into the water, not jump off a bridge. I think there's a whole different level of fear/apprehension involved in climbing a railing and launching yourself off of an object, as opposed to the idea of "gently" walking or lowering yourself into the water.
I'm well aware that the reality of the experience wouldn't be so "smooth", for want of a better word, but it's somehow a less traumatic idea

Their brother said that the sisters spoke to their mother on Saturday 4 January, but hadn't mentioned anything about money problems or wanting to leave their flat.

Whatever it is that caused them to leave so suddenly they obviously didn't want to discuss it with their family.

The conditions until the last few days have been challenging, with lots of ice floating on the river acting as distractions to anything that may have been in the water, it is close to a very busy harbour, with many large boats coming and going and the water flows out to sea.

The Nicola Bulley case the river was smaller in width, more twists/turns in the river, slower and miles from the sea.

Yep it's guaranteed. But in the end, the answer that seemed the most obvious at the start is nearly always the right one.

Yep, I'm sure the police will be proven right in the end with this one.

Maybe something which caused them to go missing did not happen until after that phone call.

I u/stand this logic but we can also go back to student Libby Squire, i would say this is probably the same kind of river leading into the sea. Humber river leading to the north sea. Albeit it has been said luck was definitely on the side of her poor family finding her. It was also in January, 2019 to be precise!

 

[ZeroAlpha]

Yes i did think about this after i posted.

You have a wide river going out to the north sea. If they did enter the water and are in the north sea unfrotunately i do not have much hope of them finding them, IMO.

Not sure if the river dee flows fast etc. not an expert on this but if anyone knows.

Alice Byrne from Edinburgh is believed to have gone into the North Sea back in 2022. Very little chance of ever finding her sadly.

I do think suicide is the best hypothesis at the moment. Especially with the wanting to immediately end their rental contract withot any such comments to the family.

But I am trying to keep my mind open to other options, mostly linked to:
* two people, even twins, committing suicide together is still not common, even though it's possible
* the bag and other items (why did they take the bag and why have none of the clothes etc been found)
* a less common method of suicide combined with the area being an odd choice for suicide, but at the same time being well-known for shady stuff (that might even interrupt a 2AM suicide).

Also unlikely, but I tried to think that could some sort of a more psychotic mental health episode also be an option? It could possibly explain the worry from "possessions left at the home" while "not indicating self-harm" - something just super odd and not normal. It could also explain cryptic interractions with the landlord and irrational actions and ending up in the water (due to either misadventure, delusions or still suicide). This is of course also unlikely to hit two people at once, but maybe only one of them having psychosis could end up with the same outcome (with the other either not yet understanding what's going on or trying to safeguard and support the other).

Yes i am from Edinburgh so I am local to this case. There is a slight difference though, where Alice is believed to have entered at portobello beach there is a huge opening to the north sea via the forth of firth. It is not the same IMO.

There are quite a few people still missing in the Aberdeenshire area over the past 10 years.

 

[Loyaloil]

Could a note have been found by the landlady in the flat and this was the reason for the urgency in reporting them both missing. It might explain why the police are so sure both are in the water...

Sorry if this has been discussed.

That would certainly have prompted the quick response and might very well be the case. The police won't state that publically of course.

It doesn't need to have been a suicide note, but some writing that was of concern.

Yes my thoughts exactly.

If they were organised enough to leave letters to the landlord and set out in the early hours of the morning wouldn't you also expect them to consider the tide and access to the water ? a high tide would be preferable. However if you were going to enter the water then heavy winter clothing would keep there :-(
