An early morning operation has been conducted by police at the site where two sisters, Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, aged 32, vanished in Aberdeen, exactly a week after they were last spotted. The siblings were caught on CCTV on Market Street at Victoria Bridge around 2.12am on Tuesday, January 7.
They were seen crossing the bridge and turning right onto a footpath by the River Dee, heading towards Aberdeen Boat Club. In a bid to uncover more details about the sisters’ last known movements, officers spoke with pedestrians and drivers in the area during the Tuesday morning operation.
Intensive searches have been underway, involving a police helicopter, dog units, and the marine team. With no signs indicating that the women left the vicinity, the focus remains on the River Dee. Superintendent David Howieson said: “We remain extremely concerned for Eliza and Henrietta as our searches enter a second week. Considerable efforts are being made to search the river and the surrounding area.”

The police have been actively questioning individuals and reviewing all available CCTV footage to piece together the sisters’ actions on the early hours of Tuesday, January 7. Superintendent Howieson continued: “We remain in regular contact with Eliza and Henrietta’s family in Hungary and continue to provide them with support. We know our concern is shared by people across Aberdeen and the north east. I would urge anyone who may have information, which has not yet been passed to police, to get in touch.”
The family of the sisters has spoken out amidst growing concerns for their welfare. They said: “This has been a very worrying and upsetting time for our family. We are really worried about Eliza and Henrietta and all we want is for them to be found. If you think you might have any information which could help the police with finding Eliza and Henrietta, then please pass this on as quickly as you can.”
The statement continued: “We appreciate all the support our family has been given over the past few days and we would like our privacy to be respected at this time.”
The missing women, part of a set of triplets hailing from Hungary, are described as white and slim, with long brown hair. Police Scotland affirmed they’re working alongside officers in Hungary, who are in contact with the family back home.
Jozsef, the siblings’ brother, told the BBC that conversations with their mother on the first Saturday of January raised no immediate cause for concern. For anyone who believes they may have information relating to Eliza and Henrietta, call the authorities on 101, referencing incident number 0735 of January 7.
