Personal background
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti were two sisters from a set of triplets.[2] They were born in Hungary, but moved to Aberdeen, Scotland, around 2015.[citation needed] They lived in a flat in the city centre and were saving money to buy their own home. The sisters were described as "cautious women" by their brother Joszef, and were said to have no financial difficulties. They were not known for going out and preferred to stay at home.[3]

Disappearance
At 02:12 GMT on 7 January 2025, a message was sent from Henrietta's phone to the sisters' landlady, stating that they would not return to the flat. The phone was in the Torry area of Aberdeen, in the vicinity of the Queen Victoria Bridge. It was then disconnected from the network.[4] CCTV showed that the sisters crossed the bridge and entered a footpath beside the River Dee.[4]
The landlady visited their address to discuss the termination of their tenancy, and raised the alarm of their disappearance. Joszef stated that the family was not aware of the sisters' decision to end their tenancy, and described it as "strange" that they would not have been told. He also stated that the sisters were very close to their mother and would speak to her frequently, and that in a 40-minute phone conversation with her in the days prior to their disappearance nothing had seemed out of the ordinary.[5]

Investigation
Investigations found that the sisters had been at the bridge and footpath on 6 January; CCTV did not show them speaking to anybody.[4] Police Scotland do not believe that their disappearance was linked to a criminal offence, and treated it as a missing persons inquiry. Investigators' hypotheses included the possibility that the sisters entered the river, and searches covered water, air, and land.[6] Searches of Aberdeen Harbour and the Dee ended in late January, but coastal searches continued.[7] Police Scotland were assisted by the Hungarian police force, who liaised with the family in Budapest.[3]
On 31 January, the sisters' bodies were recovered from the Dee, one near the Queen Elizabeth Bridge and one near the Queen Victoria Bridge.[8][9][10]
