The search of the River Dee in Aberdeen has been extended in a bid to find missing sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti.
The pair, both aged 32, were last seen on CCTV on Market Street at Victoria Bridge at around 2.12am on Tuesday, 7 January, 2025. It’s believed they crossed the bridge and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
Specialist resources, including the police helicopter, dog branch and the marine unit, along with emergency service partners, have been assisting in the searches. Police Scotland officers will remain at the scene while further searches, including the coast towards the Port of Aberdeen’s South Harbour, and towards Duthie Park, are carried out.
Officers are also liaising with authorities in Hungary, where the missing women are from, to support relatives as searches continue.
CCTV footage from the area where Eliza and Henrietta were last seen is also being examined, with door-to-door enquiries being carried out, as well as speaking to local businesses.

Police Scotland confirmed the River Dee remains the focus of searches with no evidence of the missing women leaving the immediate area.
Eliza and Henrietta are both described as white and of slim build with long, brown hair.
Chief Inspector Darren Bruce said: “Eliza and Henrietta’s family are understandably extremely worried about them and we are working tirelessly to find them.
“We are seriously concerned about them and have significant resources dedicated to the enquiry. We are again urging the public to come forward with any information relating to Eliza and Henrietta’s whereabouts.
“The focus of our search remains the River Dee and I would again ask, if you were in the area at the time, please think back, did you notice anyone matching their description?
“Even if it doesn’t seem significant, please pass any information on and let us be the judge of that.
“I would again urge businesses in and around the South Esplanade and Menzies Road area to please review their CCTV footage for early morning on Tuesday, 7 January, 2025 and contact us if it holds anything that may be relevant to our investigation.
“We are also keen to hear from anyone with dashcam footage from that time.
“Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident number 0735 of Tuesday, 7 January, 2025.”
