Police Scotland continue to appeal for the public’s help finding Eliza and Henrietta Huszti.

Superintendent David Howieson said: “We have had a positive response from the public to our appeals and I would like to thank everyone who has already come forward.

“I would again urge anyone with any information which could help find Eliza and Henrietta to get in touch.

“We remain in regular contact with Eliza and Henrietta’s family in Hungary and we will continue to provide them with support at this very difficult time.

“Searches will continue in the coming days and our officers will continue to do everything they can to find Eliza and Henrietta.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0735 of Tuesday, 7 January, 2025.

Further searches for the missing sisters, involving specialist resources, will continue in the upcoming days, Police Scotland has said.

The force added that this will include the harbour area in Aberdeen.

Officers continue to trawl through hours of CCTV footage in the search for the missing sisters, Police Scotland have said in a statement issued in their update on the case.

Superintendent David Howieson said on Friday: “We have carried out a significant trawl of public and private CCTV footage as we try to establish the sisters’ movements.

“Several hours of footage are being examined by a dedicated team of officers and we have so far established that Eliza and Henrietta were at the footpath next to the River Dee at 2.50pm on Monday 6 January, 2025.

“Although the sisters didn’t engage with anyone else at this time, the area would have been busy and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen them.

“Please think back, did you notice anyone matching their description?

“After returning home, there is nothing to indicate that Eliza or Henrietta left their flat again until shortly before they were last seen at the River Dee.

“Extensive enquiries are ongoing and I would again stress there is nothing to suggest any suspicious circumstances or criminality.”

The missing sisters’ landlady reported her concerns to the police after finding the pair’s personal belongings inside their flat the day after the last sighting of them.

Police also revealed that the landlady received a text message from one of the siblings’ phone at the same time as they were last seen.

Officers are now appealing for anyone who may have seen the missing sisters during the earlier sighting captured on the fresh CCTV to come forward.

The footage shows Eliza and Henrietta Huszti at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee at around 2.50pm on 6 January. Officers said they spent five minutes there before making their way through Aberdeen city centre, via the Union Square shopping centre, back to their flat in the Charlotte Street area.

The force said the pair have not been seen or heard from since the final sighting of them hours later at around 2.12am on 7 January and searches are continuing.

Police have revealed the final eerie text that was sent from one of the missing sisters’ phones at the same time as the last sighting of the pair.

A message was sent from Henrietta Huszti’s mobile phone to their landlady at 2.12am on 7 January, indicating she and her sister Eliza would not be returning to their flat.

The text was sent from the area of Victoria Bridge, which was the place where the pair were last seen, with CCTV footage showing them there at the same time as the message was sent.

The phone was then disconnected from the network and has not been active since, said Police Scotland.

A major police update has revealed the two missing sisters from Aberdeen had visited the bridge where they were last seen just hours beforehand.

Fresh CCTV footage has emerged showing Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32 and part of a set of triplets, at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee at around 2.50pm on 6 January, with both seen wearing rucksacks.

Police Scotland added that they did not engage with anyone else while there.

After spending five minutes at the footpath and bridge, the sisters are then seen on CCTV making their way through Aberdeen city centre, via the Union Square shopping centre, back to their flat in the Charlotte Street area of Aberdeen.

The force does not believe Eliza or Henrietta left their flat again until shortly before they were last seen at the River Dee just hours later.

At around 2.12am on 7 January, separate CCTV footage captured the last sighting of the pair in Market Street at the same bridge, which they crossed before turning right onto a footpath next to the river, heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
