Police search for missing sisters extended to the coast
The search for two sisters missing from Aberdeen has been extended to the coast of New Harbor, police said.
Eliza and Henrietta Huszty – who are part of a group of three children – were last seen in Market Street, Victoria Bridge, at around 02:12 on Tuesday.
Land will also be searched in the Boat House area near Duthie Park on Saturday.
Meanwhile, relatives in Hungary have urged people not to spread baseless rumors about the sisters’ disappearance.
Divers have already searched the section of the River Dee where he was last captured on CCTV.
On Friday, detectives said there was nothing at this stage to suggest anything suspicious had happened to the women.
Their brother said the sisters, who are originally from Hungary but live in Aberdeen city centre, had seemed “fine” in the days before they went missing.
József told BBC News that his mother had spoken to the girls last Saturday.
They talked for 40 minutes and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Their sister Edit Huszty – the other triplet – said she spoke to them on video call on New Year’s Eve and they seemed happy and cheerful.
He said that the sisters were very close and did most of the work together.
He was described as friendly, but as far as the family knew, he preferred to stay at home rather than go out, often opting to watch movies.
The family said Eliza especially loved cooking.
He further said that he believes that being out on the streets in the early hours of the morning is completely contrary to his character.
Adit said she hoped her sisters would return safely to the family.
Both Eliza and Henrietta are described as white, with slim bodies, and long, brown hair.
He moved to Scotland about seven years ago.
They are said to be part of a “united” family who cannot understand what might have happened to the pair.
It is understood that Henrietta works at a branch of Costa Coffee in Aberdeen.
Police said there were several commercial and industrial units near Victoria Bridge in Tori area, where he was last seen, and a search was underway.
The search on Friday was focused on the River Dee, on the ground around the area and also from the air.
This involved the Police Scotland helicopter, force divers and sniffer dogs.
Officers are urging businesses around the South Esplanade and Menzies Road area to review CCTV footage recorded in the early hours of Tuesday.
Police Scotland said it was being supported by Hungarian police who have been in contact with the wider family and urged anyone with information to do so keep in touch,
