A major search operation into the disappearance of two sisters in Aberdeen continues today. Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, were last seen on CCTV in the city's Market Street at Victoria Bridge at about 2.12am on 7 January. The siblings - who are part of a set of triplets and originally from Hungary - were captured crossing the bridge and turning right onto a footpath next to the River Dee in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
In an update on Monday morning, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: "They are still missing and enquiries are ongoing. Searches will be resuming today.". The search team has included specialist advisers, emergency service partners, a police helicopter, and the force's dog branch and marine unit.
Over the weekend, diving crews were spotted scouring the icy river as the search area was expanded to include the coast towards the Port of Aberdeen's South Harbour, as well as Duthie Park. Police Scotland said there has been "no evidence" of the missing sisters leaving the immediate area.
In a statement issued online by their brother, Jozsef Huszti, the women's family urged people not to spread fake news in regards to the siblings' disappearance. The family said the Scottish authorities were "doing their job", adding: "The family is not in a position to give separate information to everyone.
