A family member of two missing twin sisters in Aberdeen said the pair seemed “fine” in the days leading up to their disappearance. Eliza and Henrietta Huszti were last seen in the city centre at around 2.12am on Tuesday January 7.
CCTV in Market Street showed the 32-year-old sisters crossing Victoria Bridge and turning right onto a footpath next to the River Dee heading in the direction of the Aberdeen Boat Club. Searches of the river were held on Friday morning.
Also on Friday a relative told BBC News the pair’s mum spoke to them on Saturday, having “a 40-minute conversation and nothing appeared out of the ordinary”. Concerns have been growing in the days since.
The sisters were last seen just after 2am on Tuesday.

Images on Friday showed boats scouring the River Dee with a diving team near the Queen Elizabeth Bridge. A helicopter was also reportedly circling the same area of the city where the sisters moved to seven years ago.
Eliza and Henrietta, who are part of a set of triplets, are both described as white and of slim build with long, brown hair. Chief Inspector Darren Bruce confirmed on Thursday night specialist units were searching where the women had last been seen.
