COPS have been probing the mystery disappearance of twin sisters in subzero temperatures near a river today.
Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32, vanished after walking down an unlit riverside footpath at 2am on Tuesday.

Family members said the pair, who are originally from Hungary, were fine the last time they spoke.
Police Scotland said they were liaising with cops from their homeland as they probe their disappearance in Aberdeen as pals struggled to deal with the news.
One friend said: “Eliza was an extrovert and always so happy.
“She never seemed down or unhappy and she was always with her sister. This makes zero sense to any of us.
“We’re trying to get more information because we can’t get our heads round this.”
The sisters are triplets and moved to Scotland from Hungary about ten years ago.

Their other sister Edit stayed behind, along with brother Jozsef.
He revealed the pair last spoke to their mother on Saturday and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
While Edit told how she had a video call with the “happy and cheerful” duo on New Year’s Eve.
Coffee shop worker Henrietta and Eliza were spotted in the Torry area after 2am on Tuesday.
CCTV captured the pair turning down a pitch-black footpath that runs alongside the River Dee where cops were searching with a boat yesterday.
One friend said: “There was no reason for them to be in that part of the city at that time.
“That path is beyond dodgy. People are scared to go down it in daylight.
“I can’t work out why they would go down there when it’s pitch black and iced over.”
But some friends suggested the sisters may have gone stargazing.

The pal revealed: “Supposedly it was the night you could see three planets at the same time.
“Have they gone down there to see that? Seems like a very unusual place to go for that. Especially when it was absolutely freezing.”
Eliza worked at the Holiday Inn hotel in the centre of Aberdeen for around eight months.
It was revealed she finished at 1pm and then went off on annual leave.
Hours later cops were alerted by the sister’s landlord and officers launched a probe.
ON THE HUNT
COPS previously confirmed that extensive enquiries to trace the girls are ongoing, with searches being carried out around the area they were last seen.
It is understood that there is nothing at this stage to suggest it is a suspicious incident.
Police have also urged businesses in and around South Esplanade and Menzies Road to take a look at their CCTV to see if it holds anything relevant to their investigation.
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 police dogs and our marine unit.
“The Torry side of Victoria Bridge where they were last seen has many commercial and industrial units.
“Searches are ongoing here and we would urge businesses in and around the South Esplanade and Menzies Road area to please review their CCTV footage for early morning on Tuesday, 7 January, 2025 and contact us if it holds anything that may be relevant to our investigation.
A land, sea and air search was launched in the river. Divers were seen in the water while specialist dog teams combed the shore.
Eliza’s co-workers walked the route where she went last seen to try and understand what had happened.
One said: “The police interviewed me three times.
“I think they are taking it very, very seriously. We are hoping and praying for a miracle.”
