Search for Aberdeen sisters as police speak to locals in area of disappearance one week on

Police have revisited the area where two missing sisters from Aberdeen were last seen one week ago.

Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, were seen on CCTV on Market Street at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee around 2.12am on Tuesday, January 7.

They crossed the bridge and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club. They have not been seen since and searches have now entered their second week.

Officers revisited the area in the early hours of Tuesday, January 14 and spoke to pedestrians and motorists to try and gain further understanding of the sisters’ movements one week ago.

Searches have focused on the River Dee and following enquiries so far, there is nothing to suggest that Eliza or Henrietta left the immediate area.

“Considerable efforts are being made to search the river and the surrounding area. We have spoken to a number of people in the course of our enquiries, including overnight, a week on from when they were last seen.
