Major update on missing twin sisters as cops reveal key theory on disappearance & landlord speaks out
A KEY theory in the disappearance of missing twin sisters has been revealed by cops - as the search enters a second week.
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32, were last spotted on CCTV walking along Market Street in Aberdeen at 2.12am on Tuesday, January 7.
They crossed Victoria Bridge and then turned right on to a footpath next to the River Dee, heading in the direction of Aberdeen Boat Club.
Police have now revealed one of their theories, saying that the two women may have entered the River Dee and that they were notified of their disappearance by the sisters' landlord.
Superintendent David Howieson said: “We have obtained further footage of their movements through the city centre.”
He added that the two sisters' trail runs cold where the pair enter the footpath by the river.

Searches for the sisters have been extensive and have included the use of the police helicopters as well as both the dog and marine specialist units.
The superintendent also revealed that the two sisters had arrived in the UK six years ago and had been working in Aberdeen since then.
It has also emerged that there were claims of screams heard by the river at the time the two sisters vanished.
These noises that were heard in Aberdeen in the early hours of January 7 could have been alarming cries, it is understood.
While the sounds raised concerns, detectives do not presently think anyone is involved in their disappearance and are not treating it as suspicious.
One resident said: “Everyone is talking about this.
"It was pretty scary stuff.
“A woman screaming out in the darkness is going to raise some red flags
“But it’s not entirely clear what the noises were.
"No one has been able to establish whether or not they are definitely connected to the girls.”
Eliza and Henrietta, originally from Hungary, are thought to have left their home in the city centre just to head to the River Dee.
No one has been able to find any explanation as to why they went to the unlit spot in the Torry area as temperatures plunged below zero.
The steep unpaved path was covered in ice at that time and hard to tackle even in daylight.
