Have either or both of them been gone so long that they have now missed work? I don't know about the one who does cleaning, but the one working in the coffee shop must have scheduled hours. I'm wondering if she hasn't shown up for work as scheduled yet, or is she maybe on a few days off? If they've missed work, it sounds serious and I would be worried. Family seems to be. Wonder what the circumstances of them reporting her missing were. Had they uncharacteristically not answered their calls for a time, so they reported them missing?
UK Eliza & Henrietta Huszti, sisters both 32, CCTV captures them near a river at 2am, Aberdeen, 7 Jan 2025.

I claim no inside info or expertise, but this one has screamed self-harm to me from the jump. And if so, that's so incredibly tragic for them and their loved ones.
No matter what, I hope they're not in pain or scared, wherever they are.

I see a lot of talk about where are going but not much consideration about who they may be trying to get away from?
Any back tracking further - thinking someone bothering them, creeper walking behind them, an ex who knew where they were so they took a different route? I don’t know I feel like there is a reason for the path but not intentionally a reason if that makes sense. And if the reason isn’t to go somewhere, it’s to get away

Spent the first 48 years of my life in Aberdeen so know it very well and certainly wouldn't consider it an unsafe city.Times change however ,but I get the feeling they were meeting someone, strange as that may appear.
The sisters are two of a set of triplets. The third sister apparently still lives in Hungary.

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti: Sisters fine before vanishing in Aberdeen
Sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti - two of triplets - have gone missing in Aberdeen.
www.bbc.co.uk
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti - who are part of a set of triplets - were last seen in Market Street at Victoria Bridge at about 02:12 on Tuesday.
Their sister Edit Huszti - the other triplet - said she spoke to them on a video call on New Year's Eve and they appeared happy and cheerful.
As so many are considering suicide, I'd ask a bit more:
* Are there cameras so that we know, that they did not reach the bridge (and jump)? Or what about the level of traffic on the bridge late at night?
* The personal items. A friend of mine did kill himself via drowning - summertime, so light clothing and a backpack full of rocks. I can see E&H having coats, scarves, boots and even a crossbody bag. My first thought would be, that someone committing suicide would leave these items somewhere close to the waters edge. How have the other cases been, is walking into the water in boots and a coat a reasonably common thing?
* The bag. What's in the bag? Why bring it to a suicide (last letters or something among the way? there has been no mention of any?) and where is it now?
* Have we heard nothing about their phones? And nothing from their local friends and colleagues?

Virginia Woolf famously filled her pockets with stones and drowned herself by walking into the River Ouse. It was March when she did so, so I can't imagine it was very warm. Not everyone removes clothing layers or other items.

This sounds very out of character for these women, it’s all very concerning. Obviously nothing can be ruled out but nothing seems to be making much sense at this stage.
According to reports it states they crossed the bridge then went down a dirt path which runs alongside the river. From this footpath they could walk directly into the river. Given that it is stated they actually went along that path, and there is a CCTV camera directly across from that path entry point, we can assume they have been seen walking onto the path via CCTV. Why they wouldn't show us those CCTV stills, but only ones from earlier who knows? Maybe they quality is very low.
Given where the path leads to and the amount of commercial units around there (along with the mentioned CCTV camera right by the path entrance) the authorities should be able to trace people entering that path, and reappearing either at the other side (where the boat clubs are), or coming back out the same way.
It is a short path that leads back to regular roads with commercial businesses, so should be plenty of CCTV showing the people captured on the CCTV entering the path by the bridge coming out the other side of that dirt path. The path looks to lead to a small play ground/park within or next to the grounds of the boat club which you can then come back out onto the main street where commercial buildings are across the road.
It is of course a man-power and timing issue, they will no-doubt be trying to gain access to and trawling through footage from those commercial units/the boat clubs.
As for phone records, again probably something they are awaiting to have access to. If they were on their way to meet with someone, it'll likely come to light via phone records or from tips from close friends.

What we know so far amid major Aberdeen search of river to find missing sisters
A major land, air and water search has been launched in an urgent bid to find sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, who are two in a set of triplets. Here is everything we know so far.
The article answers one of my questions:
When were they reported missing?
Eliza and Henrietta, who are originally from Hungary, were reported missing to Police Scotland on Tuesday, January 11, four days ago
Could they have used the river path to get to the commercial units - is it possible they had arranged to meet someone here? If so, maybe they got into a vehicle and were driven away somewhere?
A question to ask though is why they were on the streets at 2AM in the first place to be in a position to be being followed, given that "They were described as sociable but as far as the family knows they were not very much into going out - preferring to stay at home, watching movies, with Eliza especially enjoying cooking.
She added that she believed it was quite out of character for them to be out on the streets in the early hours of the morning."

Though it does say "as far as the family knows" and the family are in Hungary, so that may not be the case.
Possibly harrassment from an ex or something similar could have possibly caused them to leave their home at that hour.
The path is to the rear of the commercial units, and at least on Google street view from the bridge, the first commercial unit has a fence around it, running next to the path. You would assume all commercial units there would be the same, and not have free access to their plots from a public path. That is until the boating club. It looks like the path runs directly into the ground of the boating club and to a kids playground next to it.
Possible they were meeting at the boating club, but they could have equally taken the street route to it, rather than a dodgy, unlit dirt path. You can see the outline of the path in this map view.
In the top right after the bridge they turned right (left as we look at the map) above that bus stop sign onto the dirt path. It follows the curve of the river behind the commercial units and then into the playground where you can access S Esplanade W.
Yes, they may well have been attempting to get away from someone. However, I still can’t understand why they would take that path. There is an increasing Eastern European community in Torry, so plausible they are heading to a friend’s, but I would think at that time of night you would stick to main roads.
In my opinion, taking that route would only be to enter the river (which can be accessed from the other side, albeit the Torry side may be quieter?), or they are purposely going down that path to meet someone. Maybe they did so and intentionally left in a car for some reason? Very much hoping that is the case and they make contact with family soon.
Yeah I take that with a grain.
I’ve always been responsible and reliable and still have spent many a night out late without discussion with my family.

Yes it seems odd why they would take the river path rather than the street route, i do think they could be on their way to meet someone for whatever reason. By the Boat Club or even possibly at the playground?
It's feasible they took this "shortcut" along the dirt path, came out the other side and got into a car meeting someone.
But why would the car pick them up from this random spot and not somewhere closer to home? The CCTV image provided in the news articles is from a mile away on the other side of the town centre which reports also suggested is where they lived, so we assume they walked from their home to this location over the river.
If they're meeting someone, it's very likely they used their phones to arrange and the authorities will be able to access this in due course?
It's feasible they were being followed, felt they needed to avoid a situation? (not sure why they would dive down a dark dirt path away from street lights and seemingly commercial and housing had they continued along Victoria rd).
Plus if there were others following them, they were seen heading down the dirt path (assuming this info comes from the CCTV camera by the path entrance, rather than the word of an eye witness?). Police would surely be trying to locate these people who were around at the same time possibly showing CCTV images to get names from the public.
With regards to intentionally going into the river. They didn't need to even cross the bridge to be able to do that. However, it looks like a busy road runs right by the river on the other side and so they would be more likely to be seen/someone intervene had they noticed these ladies going into water. This dirt path is definitely more secluded and quieter on the other side of the bridge.

Snipped by me for focus.
Sadly, I think this is the reason they were on that path that night.

Just heard on the BBC 2 radio news that police have widened their search to ‘around the coast at Newharbour’.
ETA a quick google maps’ search is not showing anywhere obvious with that name but having listened back that is what was said.

The articles say they liked being at home rather than going to pubs etc. Maybe they had been in the house all day and couldn’t sleep and decided to go for a late night walk? Then met with one or more nasty characters whose intention was robbery or SA? Just my thoughts.
Wonder if they were at work that day or if they are on leave (given that many people take leave over Christmas and NY).
