The river search for the two identical sisters who were reported missing in Aberdeen has ended.
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti were last seen at Market Street at Victoria Bridge at about 02:12, on 7 January.

Superintendent David Howieson of Police Scotland said: “The investigation continues to trace Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32, who were last seen on Market Street at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee around 2.12am on Tuesday 7 January, 2025.
“Our thoughts are very much with their family at what is a very difficult time.
“Extensive and detailed searches have been carried out of the River Dee and the Harbour area, using local and national specialist police resources, including the dive and marine unit, police dogs and air support, and those of partner agencies.
“These searches have now concluded at this time but enquiries will be ongoing to trace Eliza and Henrietta.”
However, the superintendent noted that 'coastal areas, both north and south of Aberdeen city, will continue to be searched and any further information received by police will be acted upon'.
“I would again stress there is nothing to suggest any suspicious circumstances or criminality,” he added.
The siblings, originally from Hungary, moved to Scotland around 10 years ago and have been described as white, of slim build, with long, brown hair.
Their brother, Jozsef, told the BBC that he thought the pair were saving up to buy their own home, but found it 'strange' when their landlady said 'they wanted to immediately end their tenancy agreement'.
"We don't understand this whole thing," he said a couple weeks ago.
"That they wrote a message to their landlady, that they wanted to immediately end their tenancy agreement. We didn't have any information about that.
"So that's the strange thing, that the girls didn't tell us anything about that.
"They never mentioned any such plan.
"Even when my mother spoke to them on the Saturday, they didn't mention anything about it, that they had any plan to move out."
The concerned family issued a statement earlier this month, which read: "Please do not spread any unfounded rumours.
"We can only say what's already been in the news.
"The family is not in a position to give everyone separate information.
"Thank you all for being with us in these difficult times."
