Search Intensifies for Missing Aberdeen Sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti
Police deploy extensive resources in hunt for siblings last seen in the early hours near the River Dee, Aberdeen.
In a development that has gripped the local community, authorities in Aberdeen are intensifying their search efforts for Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, sisters who were last seen in the early morning hours of Tuesday.
The 32-year-old siblings, residents of the city's centre, were sighted at around 02:12 GMT near Market Street at Victoria Bridge, a locale not far from the River Dee.
The two women were reportedly observed on CCTV cameras crossing the bridge and then taking a footpath that leads towards the Aberdeen Boat Club.
This route, which snakes along the river, is typically quiet and lined with various business and industrial premises.
In response to their disappearance, Police Scotland has launched an expansive search operation that includes patrols by police dogs and assistance from the marine unit.
Efforts are concentrated in the Torry area, noted for its commercial vibrancy, where the sisters were last captured on CCTV.
Both Eliza and Henrietta are described as white, of slim build, and with long brown hair—a description that has been widely circulated to aid in identifying the pair.
Detective efforts are also heavily relying on the potential of technology; authorities have called upon local business owners in the South Esplanade and Menzies Road vicinity to scrutinize their CCTV and any dashcam footage from vehicles in the area during the time the sisters vanished.
Ch Insp Darren Bruce, who is leading the search operation, emphasized the commitment to locate the sisters, stating, "We are continuing to speak to people who know Eliza and Henrietta and we urge anyone who has seen them or who has any information regarding their whereabouts to please contact 101 quoting incident number 0735 of Tuesday, 7 January, 2025."
The missing sisters have sparked concern and rallied collective action across Aberdeen as communities and institutions come together to aid in the search.
The police remain hopeful that public cooperation will bring about significant leads in the increasingly urgent hunt.
