The search for the missing sisters from Aberdeen has entered its second week as detectives returned to the river where they were last seen.
Police Scotland continues to appeal for help finding Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, both 32 and part of a set of triplets, after they were reported missing from their home in Aberdeen city centre.
In a desperate plea, their family issued a statement appealing for anyone with information to come forward and saying “all we want is for them to be found”.
The pair, who are originally from Hungary, were last seen on CCTV in Market Street at the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee at around 2.12am on 7 January. They crossed the bridge and turned right on to a footpath next to the river, heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
Officers are keeping an open mind about what has happened to the siblings, but they said there is nothing to suggest criminality in relation to their disappearance, nor any indication a third party was involved.
One theory police are considering is that the pair somehow entered the water, and extensive search efforts – involving the police helicopter, dog branch and marine unit – have been focusing on the river and surrounding area.
