This articles indicates ‘phones’ were found in the flat. No additional information was found on these. However clearly they had another phone which they took with them? All very odd.

Also, it says the landlord contacted the police straight away. As someone had noted, surely your first thought would be they hadn’t actually moved out yet, not that they were missing. They could have just popped out to the shop. Then when the landlord contacted the police it stated they ‘stood up immediately’. If police were contacted by a landlord who said they thought their tenants were due to move out, but that their belongings were still in the flat - I can’t fathom why that would result in a quick response? I rent out flats and wouldn’t think to contact the police in that situation. There must be more to all of this.

There's obviously a lot they are not saying, it's been clear from the start that they had a good idea what happened to them and that it wasn't suspicious.

But why if they hadn’t moved out yet? Why would it be odd to find those things in the place that they lived?

I am sure I read that they were due to move out a few days prior to going missing. I will try and find the link

Most likely we have not been given the full picture, as is the case in many similar situations. There must have been something very concerning in the flat.

All we know about missing twins Eliza and Henrietta Huszti one week on​

A number of details have emerged from Police Scotland’s latest update on Tuesday. Officers say the behaviour of the twins on the morning they went missing was ‘out of character’.

It has now been seven days since twins Eliza and Henrietta Huszti disappeared with little to no evidence of what has happened since.

What have the police said?

Superintendent David Howieson said: “We’re trying to remain open minded in terms of what the wider circumstances may have been.

“What we know is that the behaviour of the sisters in the morning on which they disappeared is very out of character.

“We don’t really understand why they seem to have left their home address and walked to this area in a fairly direct line before the CCTV footage of them is exhausted.

“One of our theories has to be that they’ve entered the water for reasons unknown, and that’s why so much of our search activity is focused on the river, the river bank, and the harbour itself, but we’re not ruling out the fact that they may have left this area by means that we haven’t identified yet.

“We’re remaining open minded, but we’re seven days into an inquiry with an enormous amount of inquiry carried out, and at the moment, there’s nothing we’ve found that suggests criminality or suspicious circumstances.

“They may have come to harm. That has to be a theory in terms of access to the river. But what we don’t have is any indication that a third party has been involved.

“There was an indication from the person from whom they rent a flat who had concerns that they left the flat and indicated they intended to move.

“So inquiries were carried out at the flat, and the circumstances that were found led to concern around their whereabouts, which was then important to the police.”

One associate of the sisters told Sky News they were not ones for making "impulsive decisions".

The flat where it is thought the pair resided has a notice on the door from Police Scotland saying officers have "tried to reach you".

It seems a contradiction given the lead detective has said the "strongest" working theory is that Eliza and Henrietta entered the freezing waters on the edge of the North Sea.

I really wish the media would stop referring to Eliza & Henrietta as "the girls". They are grown women, 32 years old, fully functional adults. It's very infantilizing and disrespectful, imo.

I think whatever the landlady found in their flat triggered the urgent response by the police.

I still hope they turn up safe.

 

[DoodleNak]

Sorry I’ve been reading and lurking the last couple days but first time posting on this, I’m confused now with the varying reports…

Somewhere I read that they had their tenancy ended a couple of days before, but more and more it almost reads that they had ended the tenancy themselves perhaps. Who knows. All very bizarre.

Fantastic presser!

I think it's just a British thing. I wouldn't be offended at all.

Been following this case as it’s local and since the beginning I’ve assumed that it was unfortunately a suicide. I think if it was one individual in this scenario instead of two there would be a lot less speculation and it would seem more clear cut what had happened.

The presser was very informative! I am surprised to hear them clarifying that the possessions that were left in the flat did not include anything that indicated they were intending to do harm to themselves, as I guessed that is what would have caused concern. With that not being the case, I am still confused at how the alarm was raised so quickly.

I would say it is a huge contradiction. Flips everything on its head doesn't it.

IMO it seems probably like standard practice when someone is missing. Obviously all evidence points to them being in the water, but until there is confirmation I assume they have to go through the motions.

does anyone know if it’s maybe simply protocol for scottish police to leave this kind of notice?

i can’t imagine the police really expects them to show up at their apartment again, sadly

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Just speculation -- maybe there was a note or similar left behind, but it was vague. So it didn't say anything "specific," or indicate self harm, but maybe it was concerning nevertheless.

For example, maybe an apology, a letter with contact information for their family, or instructions for what to do with their remaining possesions.
Something that is concerning but doesn't really indicate what they were thinking and experiencing?

I now have the feeling they struggled financially and didn't want to face what seemed to be coming --survival while "homeless." JMO.

I think that's a normal procedural step and i'm not sure we should read too much into it. In the unlikely event (one that we'd all love to happen) that the sisters reappeared back safe at the property without any idea of the search that had been going on or that they'd been missed, you'd want them to get in touch asap. It would be negligent not to have covered that possibility off.
Noted that whilst police are still remaining open-minded about any further sightings, the statement that they've 'exhausted' all the CCTV footage of the women's journey indicates a very high-degree of confidence in the coverage of the area and what they've seen.

What type of boats travel on that river beside rowboats and to where do they go? Sorry if stupid question.

Would they have met up with someone to take them (sneak them under the radar) somewhere on a boat? Another country or somewhere exotic? Maybe someone offered them a fresh start somewhere but it was a secret?

Sounds like they were not impulsive. Only thinking this if living arrangements maybe have been uncertain for the future.
