A local has told how there was “no reason” to be walking a “horribly” icy river path at night following the disappearance of two sisters in Aberdeen. Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, were last seen on Market Street at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee at around 2.12am on Tuesday January 7. They crossed the bridge and turned right on to a footpath next to the river heading towards Aberdeen Boat Club.
Mystery surrounds what has happened to the two who along with another sister were triplets originally from Hungary. They are said to have been living and working in Aberdeen for six years and there was nothing unusual that has been found by police in their working or social life.
In a police update last Friday, did say that investigations into their disappearance have now confirmed both women, who were wearing rucksacks, were seen at the same bridge at around 2.50pm on Monday January 6. Extensive searches have been carried out, with a police helicopter, dog branch and the marine unit among the specialist resources involved. Officers said there is nothing to suggest criminality or suspicious circumstances, and they renewed their appeal for information.
One local resident George Meldrum has spoken of his surprise at the sisters deciding to go along the footpath which he said would have been treacherous due to the wintry conditions at the time. “I don’t understand it,” Mr Meldrum told the Guardian. “There’s no reason to be walking this path at that time of the night.” He also pointed out that the path would be “horribly” icy along with snow.
