The search for the missing sisters in Aberdeen, Scotland continues for several days. On Monday, police expanded their operation area to include the beach. Eliza and Henrietta Hustie were last seen a week ago when they were picked up by surveillance officers walking the streets in the middle of the night. Relatives say that it was not typical for women to be out at such a late hour.
Police Scotland have been searching for the women since Friday, focusing on central Aberdeen and the areas around South Harbor and Duthie Park. Local media quoted police officials as saying the search was underway in the River Dee, near where the sisters were last seen on CCTV. This did not work, so now the service has expanded its operations to other areas around the coast.
Aberdeen is located on the North Sea coast.
The latest surveillance footage captured sisters Eliza and Henrietta Hustie in the city centre, near Queen Victoria Bridge, a few minutes after 2am on Monday to Tuesday (January 6 to 7). The record does not indicate that Eliza and Henrietta Hustie were under the influence of drugs.
Officers have so far determined that after crossing the bridge, the sisters turned straight back onto the footpath along the River Dee and headed towards the Aberdeen Club. Then the trail ends. Search, including helicopters, divers and search dogs.
The families of the missing persons emphasize that it was not their style to walk at such hours, as both are family members.

Eliza and Henrietta, 32, and their sister Edith are triplets. They also have a brother, Josef. A few days ago, the missing women spoke with their mother, who lives in Hungary, on the phone for more than 40 minutes, and – as family members insist – there were no signs that any of them were going through difficult times.
Police Scotland released photographs of the women as well as CCTV footage.

On Monday, police renewed their appeal for any information about the missing people, who moved to Aberdeen nearly seven years ago. Darren Bruce, Aberdeen’s chief constable, was quoted by the BBC as saying: “We are working hard to find them. We are very concerned and have a lot of resources to look for them.”
