Police Scotland said it had been made aware that a body had been seen in the River Dee, near Queen Elizabeth Bridge, shortly before 8am on Friday. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were made aware of the body of a person seen in the River Dee near Queen Elizabeth Bridge in Aberdeen around 7.55am on Friday, 31 January, 2025. “The body has been recovered from the water and enquiries are ongoing.”.
On Monday, Police said extensive searches of the River Dee and the Harbour area, using local and national specialist police resources, including the dive and marine unit, police dogs and air support ended. But the force said inquiries would be ongoing and coastal areas north and south of the city would continue to be searched. The pair – who are originally from Hungary – were last seen on a bridge over the River Dee on 7 January. They were seen at the same bridge at around 2.50pm on Monday 6 January.
They crossed the bridge and turned right on to a footpath next to the River Dee, heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club. It emerged a text message was sent from Henrietta’s mobile phone to the sisters’ landlady at 2.12am on 7 January, from the area of Victoria Bridge, indicating they would not be returning to the flat. The phone was then disconnected from the network and has not been active since, police said.
