The disappearance of 32-year-old twin sisters, Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, in Aberdeen, Scotland, has sparked a large-scale search operation, though police are not currently treating the case as a criminal investigation. The Hungarian nationals were last seen on CCTV footage at approximately 2:12 am on Tuesday, January 7th, walking on Market Street towards Aberdeen Boat Club, situated along the River Dee. After turning down a footpath leading to the club, they vanished, leaving authorities puzzled and their family deeply concerned.
Despite extensive searches, no evidence of foul play or suspicious circumstances has emerged. While investigators are keeping an open mind, the primary focus of the search has shifted to the River Dee, given the sisters’ last known location. Superintendent David Howieson acknowledged the possibility that the sisters may have entered the water, a theory supported by the absence of any indication of third-party involvement. However, the reason for such an action remains unclear, as there’s no evidence suggesting mental health concerns or any immediate distress. Though the sisters were reportedly planning to move out of their rented flat, nothing seemed amiss in their last conversation with their mother a few days prior to their disappearance.
The sisters’ behavior on the night of their disappearance has been described as “very out of character.” Their direct route to the river area without any apparent deviation has perplexed investigators, leaving them struggling to understand the sisters’ motivations. The lack of a clear explanation for their actions has further fueled anxieties about their well-being. Superintendent Howieson emphasized that while the river remains the primary search focus, other possibilities haven’t been ruled out. The investigation continues to explore all avenues, including the possibility that they left the area undetected by means yet to be identified.
The search efforts have been extensive, involving specialized resources such as search dogs, a helicopter, and a marine unit deployed to scour the river and surrounding areas. Divers have also been deployed to thoroughly search the river itself. The Port of Aberdeen, a busy hub handling thousands of ships annually, lies adjacent to the area where the sisters were last sighted, adding to the complexity of the search. Investigators have reviewed CCTV footage and interviewed numerous individuals, continuing their efforts to piece together the sisters’ movements in the early hours of January 7th.
The sisters’ family in Hungary remains in close contact with the police, receiving regular updates and support as the search enters its second week. Their triplet brother, Jozsef, has issued a public statement requesting respect and privacy for the family during this difficult time. He urged against the spread of misinformation and expressed confidence in the Scottish authorities handling the investigation. The family’s plea reflects their desire for accurate information and a respectful handling of the situation as they anxiously await news of their loved ones.
The ongoing investigation continues to grapple with unanswered questions surrounding the sisters’ disappearance. The lack of concrete evidence pointing to a specific cause has made the search challenging, leaving investigators to piece together a complex puzzle with limited information. As the search continues, the community shares the family’s concern, hoping for a swift resolution and the safe return of Eliza and Henrietta Huszti. The police have urged anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward and assist with the ongoing investigation.
