In January, sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti went missing in Scotland and were found dead almost a month later. Although their cause of death has since been revealed, there are still questions that remain unanswered.

Eliza, a hotel housekeeper, and Henrietta, a coffee shop assistant, who were both 32 and living in Aberdeen, went missing in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Jan. 7. For weeks, news of their disappearance made headlines worldwide as new information continued to be released from police.

More than three weeks later, their bodies were found in the River Dee on Friday, Jan. 31.

Here’s everything we know.

When did Henrietta and Eliza Huszti go missing?

The sisters, who have a triplet and are originally from Hungary, disappeared in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Jan. 7. 

According to police in Scotland, they were last seen on CCTV footage on Market Street at the Victoria Bridge, which is located near the River Dee in Aberdeen, at around 2:12 a.m. local time that morning.

In the days after their disappearance, authorities combed the area and reviewed their last known whereabouts.

“They have crossed the bridge and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee heading in the direction of the Aberdeen Boat Club,” police said at the time.

Aberdeen police as well as police dogs and a marine unit worked for weeks to find the sisters, urging residents and businesses in the area to review their CCTV footage. Police also spoke to those who knew Eliza and Henrietta, and urged anyone who might have seen them to get in touch.

They sent an alarming text message to their landlady

Officers confirmed that a text message was sent “from Henrietta’s mobile phone to their landlady at 2:12 a.m.” on the morning they disappeared, from an area close to where they were last seen. The message indicated “they would not be returning” to the apartment, police said in a release.

“The phone was then disconnected from the network and has not been active since,” police confirmed.

“The following day, the sisters’ personal belongings were found inside the flat and the landlady reported her concerns to police,” authorities said.

Additional details have not been publicly shared.

Hours before they disappeared, the sisters visited the bridge where they were last seen

CCTV footage confirmed that the sisters had made an earlier visit to the bridge where they were last seen, police said back in January, before their bodies were found.

The women were spotted at the location at around 2:50 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 6, and they were both wearing backpacks. After spending about five minutes there, they then went back to their apartment in Aberdeen.

“Although the sisters didn’t engage with anyone else at this time, the area would have been busy and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen them,” police superintendent David Howieson said in a statement at the time.

Police went on to share that there was ” nothing to indicate” that the sisters left the apartment again “until shortly before they were last seen at the River Dee in the early hours.”

When were their bodies found?

On Friday, Jan. 31, at around 7:55 a.m. local time, a body was spotted in the River Dee, not far from where siblings were last seen on CCTV in the early hours of Tuesday, Jan. 7.

“While the woman is yet to be formally identified, the family of Henrietta Huszti, 32, who had been reported missing in the area on Tuesday, 7 January, has been informed,” Police Scotland confirmed in a statement obtained by PEOPLE at the time.

Hours later, officers discovered the second body in the River Dee in an area of the river near to the Victoria Bridge around 9 p.m. local time. Although the woman has not been officially identified, police wrote that “the family of Eliza Huszti…who had been reported missing in the area on Tuesday, [Jan. 7], has been informed.”

“Our thoughts remain with the Huszti family and we are keeping them fully updated following these recoveries,” Police Superintendent David Howieson added in the statement. “We know how much of an impact this has had in Aberdeen and much further afield and I would like to thank everyone who has assisted with our investigation.”

What was their cause of death?

The sisters died from drowning, according to death certificates obtained by PEOPLE.

The documents both listed drowning as the single cause of death, confirming the siblings were found near the South Esplanade in West Aberdeen.

Henrietta’s body was found shortly after 8:00 a.m., while her sister’s body was discovered later that evening, around 9:00 p.m. Their bodies were found roughly a half mile apart, according to the BBC.

What remains unknown?

Although their cause of death was listed as drowning, the death certificate did not provide any additional information about their manner of death.

Before their bodies were found, police repeatedly said that there were “no apparent suspicious circumstances” — and after both bodies were recovered, police stressed that nothing had changed there, although “enquires are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”

Their family have also said that they’re still searching for answers.

Their brother, Jozsef Huszti, told the BBC that the sisters had been saving up to buy a place, but that the family had no knowledge of any immediate plans for them to leave their apartment.

Meanwhile, Miklós Huszti, the girls’ father, told a local Hungarian news outlet that he had not heard from the women for over 12 years but learned about their disappearance through his son.

“For weeks I had hoped that they would be found safe and sound, or at least that they would give me news of themselves,” Miklós said in a translated Hungarian language interview, “but deep down, I knew that something had happened to them.”
