imo:
There's no good way to take one's life but going this route seems so torturous to me.
If they did have access to pills and enough of them then why not?
This case seems just so bizarre.
They might not have wanted the landlord to have to deal with a death in their flat.
There is a risk that one of them might be sick and survive after taking pills.
They might have taken pills before entering the water to try and minimise the torture. I think in freezing water they would become unconscious pretty quickly.

Excellent points.

Lot of people questioned why one of them was carrying a bag. Seems feasible it contained pills &/or alcohol for them to take as you mention.
 
Whatever ends up happening here I don’t think we’ll really have a full understanding until we know what was found in their place of living. Also, I really don’t think the family actually knew them well. It sounds like a lot of surface level conversation and while that happened frequently, it doesn’t sound like they really know a ton about them or could have really assessed what was going on
 
do we think anything about the reported route was accurate? I can’t remember what we’ve actually been told about where they were seen. Google tells me this would’ve been the most direct walking path if they lived on Charlotte Street. So the path and location wouldn’t seem so confusing unless it went back a different direction.

There have been no confirmed CCTV images other than the one released from Charlotte Street. I assume they have captured them elsewhere but have not put them in the public domain. The suggested route was from a Sun article, so possibly not accurate. It showed them cutting through the bus station - but there was no confirmation this was the definite route.

I don’t really feel like the bag is questionable just like the phone . I think that’s just personality stuff which still happens even if you are suicidal. We are creatures of habit and if we’re used to taking a bag then we’re probably going to take a bag.

Thank you. I can’t remember also if that’s the hotel right there that said the one sister worked at. I have that in my mind, but I might’ve created that detail since there happened so little details.
 
I wonder if the landlord reported them because they owed money rather than because of a concern for their welfare or maybe what was left in the room made them concerned,maybe they had locked the door and left the keys inside the room with half packed bags. We know a mobile phone had been left.
Has anything been reported that the landlord first contacted or tried to contact the sister's family or workplaces before contacting police?
imo:
As a landlord that would have been my first move because first going to the police would have been a drastic move unless there was evidence in the apartment that indicated violence etc.
 
I can’t help but think if they were planning to harm themselves, why they would have ended the tenancy. It sounds like that decision was made a few days before they disappeared. Usually suicide is quite an impulsive act and I would have thought ending the tenancy would draw more attention to them.

This leads me to go back to the theory that they had perhaps got involved in something dangerous or illegal, whether intentional or not. Knowing the area they went to, I can’t get the idea out my head they were going to meet someone.

Also, this may be totally unrelated but in the pic from their brother in the snow they have on waterproof/padded jackets. They both seem to have smarter coat type jackets in the CCTV. Not sure if that has any relevance whatsoever.
 
I’m local, wish to add a several things I’ve noted from the comments on here. As you may have deduced the Sun article map is nonsense. They live close to where the initial CCTV that has been released is. Not Crown Street.

As for CCTV, recently Aberdeen City centre had numerous camera upgrades and additional cameras added by the local authority that the Police easily have/share access to. They will have not needed to access private home or business CCTV to get a rough idea of where they went, quite quickly, especially if they knew a starting point, rough time and or what they were wearing.

The cameras on Google St maps are in some places not accurate anymore.

For example the image that has been released publicly is new, located at the junction across where it shows, this isn’t on Google Street view. Ironically you can see the cabinet and works to install it being done on the 2023 update (see my image for where it is located)

As for the Bridge where they were last seen, the directional old camera you see on Google St maps is now a ‘360’ camera. The Police will have highly likely seen them clearly go down the path on this camera.

There is also is a camera on Market St before the bridge and across the bridge on Victoria Road as well as to the right up Menzies Rd, another near Halfords on Wellington Road. That’s without having to look at private ones. I’ve not been down to the area where the boat houses are in a good while, so not sure if there is CCTV there with them, certainly isn’t on the road side of the buildings, but a lot of the businesses on the other side of the road do have.

So in terms of being able to see where they go/leave/came is fairly well covered. There are holes of two side streets but they would have been picked up elsewhere most likely.

Hence why I feel the Police are fairly certain they went in and didn’t come back out.

If I were to speculate why the police have not released other CCTV imagery, it could be for potential evidence if it does turn out nefarious or to not lead / taint witnesses that may have seen them beyond Charlotte St, so they can organically report what they saw to them and there may be a reluctance to release images that show the capability of the cameras for obvious (crime) reasons. It isn’t needed for them to release anything further other than to satisfy people’s curiosity.

Like many in the city, I find the walking down to this area at 2am bizarre enough on it’s own, I agree with what others have said, there is zero reason to be in this area at this time but then add in the weather on that night, where it was thick with ice and the fact that of the two sides of the River Dee, this is least street lit side (pretty dark at night) and at that time far quieter side, as the other side has street lighting and a busy road most of the time.

I would add I don’t go along with the slipped into the river theory, if the tide was out as claimed, yes the current would have been stronger, but the water would have been further out from the edges. So they would have had to for the majority of that walk/path area had to have actively tried to get in the water to be ‘in the water’ if you know what I mean.

Numerous cell sites around this area being a city, so if the police have phone data by now, they will have known a general location they entered, to corroborate CCTV and wether the phone pinged anywhere else after loss to cameras, if they had phones with them.

Welcome to Websleuths and thank you for such an informative post.

Thank you, local knowledge is invaluable.
 
I followed your link to the Hungarian news site and ran it through Google Translate. A couple of bits in there that I've not seen elsewhere. The translation sometimes seems to say "he" for "she" (eg in the last sentence below) when referring to their sister (says "brother") Edit.

1) "“We know that the two girls were having fun with an acquaintance, in a male society, and when they went home, they split in front of Market Street,” said Anna, a Hungarian woman living in the Scottish town.

2) "However, three of the family members decided to travel to Scotland in a few days to see if they could provide assistance to the police.
“We will leave with my uncle and a third family member in a few days,” said one of his relatives, Sándor, to our newspaper. He's trying to stay strong, but he told me that there are people in the family who can't stop crying since it turned out that the two girls were missing. The third twin brother, Edit, spoke to them in a video call on New Year’s Eve, then they seemed happy and cheerful. But after what happened, he also thought it was quite unusual for the two of them to leave for the middle of the night.


“He told us that he had already felt a bad feeling, but he could not explain what it was,” Sándor said.

That first point?!?!
 
That first point?!?!
When I translate it I get "company" instead of 'society". Looks to me they are saying the twins were out enjoying male company before splitting up to go home.

There's also some comments which seem to be saying the family are denying they'd been to a party.

"It never happened that they went to a party, or that's how the two of them started the night."
 
Police dogs would have their scent from belongings in their apartment so did their scent stop at the water's edge or somewhere else?
January 10

'What have the police said:'

"Chief Inspector Darren Bruce said: “Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace Eliza and Henrietta and searches are being carried out in and around the area where they were last seen. Local officers, led by specialist search advisors are being assisted by resources including the police dogs and our marine unit.'

 

Two twin sisters who went missing more than a week ago wrote a message to their landlady saying they 'wanted to immediately end their tenancy agreement' - but did not inform their relatives of their plans.

Are they talking about the night before they went missing, Monday 6 January? This could put a whole new angle on the case if they were out with male company shortly before they disappeared.

Hungarian is a gender-neutral language, and has only one pronoun for he/she. It's the same way in the other Finno-Ugric languages (Finnish, Estonian, and others).
