A police spokesperson said, “Police Scotland was made aware of the body of a person seen in the River Dee near Queen Elizabeth Bridge in Aberdeen around 7.55 a.m. on Friday 31 January 2025.”

“The body has since been recovered from the water,” they added.

“Inquiries are at an early stage and identification is yet to take place,” police insisted.

“These searches have now concluded at this time but inquiries will be ongoing to trace Eliza and Henrietta,” he continued.

Officers previously confirmed they had also been “liaising with authorities in Hungary, where the missing women are from, to support relatives as searches continue.”
