There is nothing to suggest criminality in relation to the disappearance of two sisters who have been missing for a week, police have said. Officers are keeping an open mind about what has happened to Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, but they said there is no indication a third party was involved.
The sisters, both aged 32, were last seen on CCTV on Market Street at Victoria Bridge in Aberdeen at about 2.12am on Tuesday January 7. They crossed the bridge and turned right on to a footpath next to the River Dee, heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
One theory police are considering is that they somehow entered the water, and search efforts have been focusing on the River Dee and surrounding area. Superintendent David Howieson said: “We’re trying to remain open minded in terms of what the wider circumstances may have been.
“What we know is that the behaviour of the sisters in the morning on which they disappeared is very out of character. “We don’t really understand why they seem to have left their home address and walked to this area in a fairly direct line before the CCTV footage of them is exhausted.
“One of our theories has to be that they’ve entered the water for reasons unknown, and that’s why so much of our search activity is focused on the river, the river bank, and the harbour itself, but we’re not ruling out the fact that they may have left this area by means that we haven’t identified yet.”.
