Search for sisters who vanished from city centre after being spotted on CCTV at 2am
Police have launched an appeal to find two sisters who vanished from Aberdeen city centre after being spotted on CCTV cameras at 2am on 7 January.
Sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, have been reported missing from their home in Aberdeen, with camera footage taken at 2.12am on Tuesday morning showing them on Market Street at Victoria Bridge.
Footage showed they crossed the bridge and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee, and were heading in the direction of the Aberdeen Boat Club.
Both of the sisters are described as white with a slim build and long brown hair.

Chief Inspector Darren Bruce, Area Commander for Aberdeen City North, said: “Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace Eliza and Henrietta and searches are being carried out in and around the area where they were last seen."
As a well as appealing to members of the public to come forward with any information they've seen, the police also asked businesses in the area to look at their CCTV footage in the early hours of Tuesday to see if they can spot any sign of the sisters, and for drivers with dashcam footage from that time to get in touch.
CCTV footage is a major aspect of police efforts to piece together the whereabouts of the two women and build up a picture of their movements, but any and all support from the public and local businesses would be crucial in building out that picture.
In an appeal to businesses in the area which may have CCTV cameras of their own, Chief Inspector Bruce said: "Local officers, led by specialist search advisors are being assisted by resources including the police dogs and our marine unit.
"The Torry side of Victoria Bridge where they were last seen has many commercial and industrial units.
"Searches are ongoing here and we would 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 also ask anyone with dashcam footage from that time to contact us.
"We are continuing to speak to people who know Eliza and Henrietta and we urge anyone who has seen them or who has any information regarding their whereabouts to please contact 101 quoting incident number 0735 of Tuesday, 7 January, 2025."
