In the chill of an Aberdeen winter, a mystery has gripped this Scottish city. Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32-year-old Hungarian sisters described as gentle and inseparable, have vanished without a trace. Ten days after they were last spotted on CCTV, walking along an icy river footpath at 2:12 AM, the community remains baffled by their disappearance.
The twins, who had been living and working in Aberdeen for about a decade, were reported missing by their landlady after Henrietta sent a cryptic text message in the early morning hours of January 7th, indicating they would not be returning to their city center flat. Police say the phone was then disconnected and has not been active since.
A City Searches for Answers
As specialized search teams, including marine divers and canine units, scour the River Dee and surrounding areas, Aberdeen residents are struggling to make sense of the sisters’ baffling disappearance. Local residents who frequented the river footpath where the women were last seen describe the area as treacherous and icy during the recent cold snap.
“I don’t understand it. There’s no reason to be walking this path at that time of the night. It doesn’t lead to anywhere that would be open.”
– George Meldrum, local resident
Police have stated their primary working theory is that Eliza and Henrietta entered the frigid waters of the Dee, although no evidence of foul play has been uncovered thus far. The revelation has only deepened the mystery for those who knew the sisters as cautious and not prone to risky behavior.
A Family’s Anguish
For the Huszti family back in Hungary, the disappearance of Eliza and Henrietta has been a nightmare. Speaking to reporters, their brother Jozsef described the twins as hardworking and focused on saving to buy their own flat in Aberdeen. Their triplet sister Edit, who last spoke to them on a cheerful New Year’s Eve video call, is devastated by their vanishing.
“It’s the fact that they have completely disappeared that doesn’t make sense. It’s so random.”
– Ronald Henderson, Aberdeen resident
A Community United in Concern
As the search stretches on, Aberdeen has come together to support the Husztis in any way they can. The local Hungarian community has taken to social media to spread the word and share information, while complete strangers have left flowers and notes of sympathy at the spot Eliza and Henrietta were last seen alive.
“Never met you both but will always remember. You look gentle souls.”
– Note left with flowers on the River Dee footpath
As the days pass with no sign of the missing women, the question on everyone’s mind is: what happened to Eliza and Henrietta Huszti? For now, all Aberdeen can do is keep the twins in their thoughts, and hope that the ongoing search efforts will soon provide the answers their loved ones so desperately seek. Until then, the city remains united in concern, determined to unravel the mystery that has so profoundly touched their community.
