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

[WiseOwl]

Where does it say the landlord reported them missing in less than 24 hours, please?

The sisters were last seen at 2.12 AM on Tuesday 7 January. The police incident number is 0735 on Tuesday 7 January so they were reported missing the same day - less than 24 hours.

The police incident number and date is at the bottom of this report:

Ah, thank you.

There were misleading reports in other articles, that they were reported much later.

I agree - why not show us the most recent images for best identification?

Do buses run at this hour?

Because the police need to provide the public with the best, most clear image for identification. The aim of providing the images is just for identification, not for public curiosity so there is no need for more. You just give the best one.

Providing several images, which may be unclear or blurry or have issues with rendering colour of clothing, would just make it harder for members of the public to identify the sisters.

Search for sisters missing from Aberdeen enters second week

The search for two missing sisters, Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, has entered its second week after they vanished in Aberdeen.

www.dailyrecord.co.uk

The search for two missing sisters who vanished in Aberdeen has entered its second week. Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32, were last seen on CCTV on the city’s Market Street at Victoria Bridge at about 2.12am on Tuesday January 7. The pair crossed the bridge and turned right on to a footpath next to the River Dee heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.

Chief Inspector Darren Bruce said: “Eliza and Henrietta’s family remain extremely worried about them and we are in regular contact with them as our searches continue. “We know that people across Aberdeen are also seriously concerned for the two missing sisters and I would again urge anyone with information which could help to get in touch with us. Extensive efforts remain ongoing in the area, with specialist officers continuing to search on the banks of the river, while door-to-door inquiries are also continuing at homes and businesses in the surrounding area.” He added: “I would again ask, if you were in the area in the early hours of last Tuesday morning, please think back, did you notice anyone matching their description?

The first reports were stating that they were last seen on the CCTV in Market Street, there is no mention of any other CCTV footage of the path by the river:

From The Daily Record dated 9 January 2025:

The pair were last seen on CCTV in Market Street at Victoria Bridge around 2.12am on Tuesday, 7 January, 2025. They have crossed the bridge and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee heading in the direction of the Aberdeen Boat Club.

.......

The fact it is stated that they definitely crossed the bridge and "turned right onto a footpath", coupled with the street view showing a council CCTV camera directly opposite the entry-way to the path, I put two and two together assuming that is the camera that captured them entering the path for them to say for sure they went onto the path.

Maybe there was an eye witness to say they turned onto the path? But given it was stated from the very start, definitely they turned onto the path and that CCTV camera exists, I assumed that was how they know for definite they went onto the path than relying on a witness.

 

[TonnnnUK]

I've just looked again on street view (I'm becoming very acquainted with this town).
So, there is a CCTV camera across the bridge from the footpath technically at the very end of market street, looking directly across the bridge from height.
I guess this is the camera "on market street" that captured them and captured them turning onto the path in the distance.

Yes i would agree with that, far more likely to have come from CCTV rather than an eye witness - especially at that time of a morning!

Regarding the still CCTV picture that was released of the two sisters, have you been able to identify the building in the background at all? I've been trying to see if i can spot it around the Guild St/Union St area.

Yes, it's here. Way out from market street, or any given routes they took in media articles. This is what has added to the confusion as it's implied they lived further south than this location.

I’m aware of the purpose of providing images to the public. <modsnip: personalizing> My point was that those images give crap for details either. So if it’s not to provide most recent sighting of them then it seems unhelpful.

There isn’t even a description of what they were wearing, their height information, etc. unless I missed it.

Thanks. Yes, Charlotte Street is way out. I think it was mentioned last week that they lived in the city centre, and yesterday's map in The Scottish Sun implied that they lived city centre around the Guild Street area.

That's a fair walk from Charlotte Street to the river path at 2.00 in the morning.

It's also unclear if that CCTV image at Charlotte street is even on their journey from home to the riverside, or if it was just earlier in the evening maybe (and was issued simply as it was the clearest image of them).

There has been very little information on the sisters from the police, i am especially surprised there has been no mention at all of their phones. Usually in a missing person's case there would be some mention of when their phone was last in use; location, who they last spoke to or messaged, that kind of thing. In this case - nothing at all.

Maybe they both left them at their home which was something that raised concerns and so prompted the quick reaction from the police.

Latest Update:

Police give major update on missing twin sisters one week after pair vanished

Sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32, were last seen in the early hours of January 7 in Aberdeen and now a week on police have given an update on what the investigation

www.mirror.co.uk

The search for two sisters who went missing in Aberdeen has entered its second week and now police have given an update.

Police have said that their main theory now is that the two women may have entered the River Dee and that they were notified of their disappearance by the sisters' landlord.

Superintendent David Howieson said: “We have obtained further footage of their movements through the city centre.” But he added that their trail ends where the two go on a footpath by the river.

He told reporters: "I don’t want to speculate on likelihood, we are open minded, we have a theory which involves them entering the water as a potential, but we can’t rule out that the timeline continues on from that, but we haven’t established that through enquiries."

"All our enquiries to date do not provide any evidence that there has been criminality involved in the disappearance of the sisters," he said. "There is clearly concern when people are unaccounted for over such considerable period of time but police enquiries to date have not identified any suspicious circumstances."

Red Flag? (BBM)

He said the search will focus around the river area today and a helicopter will be in use. “There will be significant police activity in the area today and over the coming days,” he emphasised. SI Howieson pointed out that the landlord contacted the police after going round to their house where there were signs that the pair were looking to leave but he added "there was nothing specific in the property to suggest they wanted to disappear or do themselves harm".

So what were the signs that the sisters were looking to leave then? Maybe their belongings had been packed and put in bags? Or maybe some of their clothes were missing? Perhaps the landlord went round to collect the rent as it hadn't been paid?

Not sure what I think about the update but it sounds like no video of them entering the water. Thank you for posting the update

More news from LBC:

Major clues emerge in hunt for missing Aberdeen sisters, as desperate search enters second week

Police have picked up several clues in the search for two sisters who went missing in Aberdeen over a week ago.

www.lbc.co.uk

Officers said that Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32, had not undertaken any suspicious financial transactions since their disappearance on January 7 near the River Dee.

Police Scotland also told reporters in a press conference that the Hungarian twins had one mobile phone on them but had left other mobile devices behind at their shared flat.

Their landlord said that they had meant to leave their tenancy days before they went missing - and he then raised the alarm.

 

[Moonchild90]

So, they were meant to move out before the day of their disappearance, but for some reason they did not?

First time poster, but Aberdeen resident with a bit of local knowledge that might help some of the broader questions. Be gentle!

A few things to know about Aberdeen:
-It's small and easy to walk around. In theory, there wouldn't be anything weird about walking from the city centre to Torry. It's probably a 25 minute walk, and minus temperatures aren't unusual or enough to put people off going out at night. There's not many places in the city that you couldn't walk between in an hour or so.
-It's an oil and gas city, so it has both a prominent nightlife and lots of businesses operating with 24 hour security/cleaners/etc, especially around the harbour. There's bars open until 2am, and takeaways/casinos open later than that. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't something more as there's a number of business headquarters and the commercial ferry entrance along Market Street.
-Again, in theory, there wouldn't be anything too unusual about someone walking along the riverbank on the Torry side. There are residential houses five minutes up that way, and while it wouldn't be advisable, it's not immediately a red flag that someone's deliberately going off the beaten path.

Searching the river and the harbour is definitely a concern, not least because it's quite fast flowing and goes straight to the sea. But equally, if you wanted to get into a car out of the city, that's the way to go.
