Recent CCTV images depicting the two missing twin sisters in Aberdeen indicate that they made a prior visit to the bridge where they were ultimately last recorded.
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32, were confirmed to be last observed on Market Street at Victoria Bridge in Aberdeen at around 2am on January 7.
The sisters traversed the bridge and veered right onto a footpath adjacent to the river, after which they have not been seen again.
However, newly released CCTV footage reveals both women were at the very same bridge the prior afternoon, just after 2.50pm on January 6.
The footage shows them lingering for five minutes on the footpath and at Victoria Bridge, yet they did not interact with anyone else.
Following their visit to the bridge, they were then seen navigating through the Union Square shopping center before returning to their residence in Aberdeen.
Superintendent David Howieson stated: ‘We have conducted a comprehensive search of both public and private CCTV footage as we seek to trace the movements of the sisters.
‘Numerous hours of footage are under review by a specialized team of officers and we have determined that Eliza and Henrietta were present on the footpath next to the River Dee at 2.50pm on Monday, January 6, 2025.
‘While the sisters did not interact with anyone at this moment, the surroundings would have been bustling, and we are eager to speak with anyone who may have spotted them.
‘After they returned home, there is no evidence suggesting Eliza or Henrietta left their apartment again until shortly before they were last observed at the River Dee.
‘Thorough investigations are currently ongoing, and I must reiterate that there are no indications pointing to any suspicious activity or criminality.’
Extensive search efforts have been carried out in recent days, involving a police helicopter, canine units, and marine resources among the specialized teams engaged.
A text message sent from Henrietta’s phone to their landlady at 2.12 am on the day they disappeared indicated they would not be returning to the apartment.
The phone subsequently lost connection with the network and has remained inactive since.
Police Superintendent David Howieson remarked on Tuesday: ‘Concerns were raised by the individual from whom they rented the flat, particularly that they had left the apartment, suggesting they intended to relocate.’
However, in a discussion with the BBC, the sisters’ brother Jozsef mentioned that they did not communicate this decision to their family – even during a phone call with their mother on the Saturday preceding their disappearance.
He stated: ‘They sent a message to their landlady expressing their desire to terminate the tenancy agreement immediately. We were not informed about that.
‘Thus, it’s perplexing that the girls did not disclose any such plans to us.
‘They never alluded to any such intention.’
