Specialist search teams sent to trace sisters who vanished two days ago

Specialist search teams and police dogs have been despatched to trace two sisters who vanished two days ago.

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti were last seen on CCTV in Market Street after leaving their home in Aberdeen city centre on Tuesday at around 2.12am.

The sisters, aged 32, had crossed the Victoria Bridge to the Torry district of the city, and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee – heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.

They are described as white, of slim build, with long, brown hair.

Businesses in the area have been urged to check their CCTV in a bid to help trace the pair.

Chief inspector Darren Bruce, of Police Scotland, said: “Extensive inquiries are ongoing to trace Eliza and Henrietta and searches are being carried out in and around the area where they were last seen.

“Local officers, led by specialist search advisers are being assisted by resources including police dogs and our marine unit.

“The Torry side of Victoria Bridge where they were last seen has many commercial and industrial units.

“Searches are ongoing here and we would urge businesses in and around the South Esplanade and Menzies Road area to please review their CCTV footage for early morning on January 7 and contact us if it holds anything that may be relevant to our investigation.

“We also ask anyone with dashcam footage from that time to contact us.”

Police say they are talking with those who know the Huszti sisters – and have asked anyone with information to contact them on 101, quoting incident number 0735 of Tuesday 7 January 2025.
