Police issue heartbreaking update on search for missing twin sisters

The pair were last seen on January 7

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti were last seen at Market Street at Victoria Bridge at about 02:12, on 7 January.

The 32-year-olds, who are part of a set of triplets, were last spotted on CCTV cameras bear Aberdeen Boat Club.

Now, police have announced that searches in the River Dee have come to an end.

Superintendent David Howieson of Police Scotland said: “The investigation continues to trace Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, who were last seen on Market Street at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee around 2.12am on Tuesday 7 January, 2025.

“Our thoughts are very much with their family at what is a very difficult time.

“Extensive and detailed searches have been carried out of the River Dee and the Harbour area, using local and national specialist police resources, including the dive and marine unit, police dogs and air support, and those of partner agencies.

“These searches have now concluded at this time but enquiries will be ongoing to trace Eliza and Henrietta.”

However, the superintendent noted that 'coastal areas, both north and south of Aberdeen city, will continue to be searched and any further information received by police will be acted upon'.

He added: "I would again stress there is nothing to suggest any suspicious circumstances or criminality."

The siblings, originally from Hungary, moved to Scotland around 10 years ago and have been described as white, of slim build, with long, brown hair.

Their brother Jozsef told the BBC that he thought the pair were saving up to buy their own house but found it strange that their landlady said 'they wanted to immediately end their tenancy agreement'.

He said his mother had spoken to the girls on the Saturday prior to them going missing and they never mentioned a plan to move out.

In a statement issued earlier this month, the family said: "Please do not spread any unfounded rumours. We can only say what's already been in the news.

"The family is not in a position to give everyone separate information. Thank you all for being with us in these difficult times."
