Eliza Huszti and Henrietta Huszti (born 1992 or 1993) are 32-year-old Hungarian sisters who disappeared in Aberdeen in the north east of Scotland on 7 January 2025. [1]
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti are two sisters from a set of triplets. They were born in Hungary but moved to Aberdeen, Scotland, around 2015.[ citation needed ] They lived in a flat in the city centre and were saving money to buy their own home. The sisters were described as "cautious women" by their brother Joszef, and were said to have no financial difficulties. They were not known for going out and preferred to stay at home. [2]
The sisters were last seen around 02:12 GMT on 7 January 2025 in the Torry area of Aberdeen. At this time, a message was sent from Henrietta's phone to the sisters' landlady, stating that they would not return to the flat. The phone was then disconnected from the network. [3] CCTV showed that the sisters crossed the Queen Victoria Bridge and entered a footpath beside the River Dee. [3]
The landlady visited their address to discuss the termination of their tenancy, and raised the alarm of their disappearance. Joszef stated that the family was not aware of the sisters' decision to end their tenancy, and described it as "strange" that they would not have been told. He also stated that the sisters were very close to their mother and would speak to her frequently, and that in a 40-minute phone conversation with her in the days prior to their disappearance nothing had seemed out of the ordinary. [4]
Investigations found that the sisters had been at the bridge and footpath on 6 January; CCTV did not show them speaking to anybody. [3] Police Scotland are treating the disappearance as a missing persons inquiry, and do not believe that it is linked to a criminal offence. Investigators have multiple hypotheses, [5] and are investigating the possibility that the sisters entered the river. Police began searching the water, expanding the search to air and land. Police Scotland are being supported by the Hungarian police force, who are liaising with the family in Budapest. [2] Searches of Aberdeen Harbour and the Dee ended in late January, although coastal searches continue. [6]
On 31 January, two bodies were recovered from the Dee, one near the Queen Elizabeth Bridge and one near the Queen Victoria Bridge. [7] They have yet to be formally identified. [8]
