A DESPERATE search for missing twins has entered its second week as cops reveal the five biggest clues in their disappearance.
CCTV last captured Eliza and Henrietta Huszti, 32, on Market Street at Victoria Bridge, in Aberdeen, at 2.12am on Tuesday January 7.

The sisters crossed the bridge and headed right on to a footpath next to the River Dee before walking towards Aberdeen Boat Club.
Cops deployed drones, sniffer dogs, helicopters and specialist officers as part of their urgent search operation.
Investigators have revealed one of their “strong” theories, which suggested the women may have entered the River Dee as there’s no evidence they left the area.
But officers have been unable to find any evidence that the girls intended to harm themselves.
Investigators also discovered Eliza and Henrietta, who are originally from Hungary, didn’t tell their family a major life update before vanishing.
The twins, who moved to Scotland six years ago, were planning on moving out of their flat “immediately”.
They had handed in their notice and were supposed to have moved out days before vanishing.
The landlord had expressed concern for their welfare after many of their “personal possessions” were discovered inside the property.
It also emerged Eliza and Henrietta mysteriously only took one mobile phone and left the other behind at the flat on the night they disappeared.
And, their brother Jozsef revealed the family had no idea about this until it was announced by officers.
József told the BBC they had a 40-minute conversation and everything seemed normal.
He said: “We don’t understand this whole thing.
“That they wrote a message to their landlady, that they wanted to immediately end their tenancy agreement. We didn’t have any information about that.
“So that’s the strange thing, that the girls didn’t tell us anything about that.”

He added how the siblings, who were part of triplets, had no financial difficulties and were saving up to buy their own property.
Eliza and Henrietta’s triplet Edit Huszti also said she chatted to her sisters on New Year’s Eve and they seemed in good spirits.
She added it was out of character for them to be out on the streets in the early hours as they preferred to stay in at night.
Another alarming clue that emerged during enquiries were claims of screams heard by the river at the time the two sisters vanished.
While the sounds raised concerns, detectives do not presently think anyone is involved in their disappearance and are not treating it as suspicious.
One resident said: “Everyone is talking about this.
“It was pretty scary stuff.
“A woman screaming out in the darkness is going to raise some red flags
“But it’s not entirely clear what the noises were.
“No one has been able to establish whether or not they are definitely connected to the girls.”
Police have been unable to find any explanation as to why the women went to the unlit spot in the Torry area as temperatures plunged below zero.
The steep unpaved path was covered in ice at that time and hard to tackle even in daylight.
Cops have also been working with authorities in Hungary to support their relatives back home.
The twins’ family released a statement through Police Scotland, saying: “This has been a very worrying and upsetting time for our family.
“We are really worried about Eliza and Henrietta and all we want is for them to be found.
“If you think you might have any information which could help the police with finding Eliza and Henrietta then please pass this on as quickly as you can.
“We appreciate all the support our family has been given over the past few days and we would like our privacy to be respected at this time.”
Police Superintendent David Howieson said on Tuesday: “There was an indication from the person from whom they rent a flat who had concerns that they left the flat and indicated they intended to move.”
Police are keeping an open mind during their investigation but confirmed they have not found anything to suggest a third party was involved.
Mr Howieson said: “We’re trying to remain open minded in terms of what the wider circumstances may have been.
“What we know is that the behaviour of the sisters in the morning on which they disappeared is very out of character.
“We don’t really understand why they seem to have left their home address and walked to this area in a fairly direct line before the CCTV footage of them is exhausted.
“One of our theories has to be that they’ve entered the water for reasons unknown, and that’s why so much of our search activity is focused on the river, the river bank, and the harbour itself, but we’re not ruling out the fact that they may have left this area by means that we haven’t identified yet.”
He added that during their investigation, police have not found anything that pointed towards “criminality or suspicious circumstances”.
Eliza and Henrietta are both described as white and of slim build with long, brown hair.
Mr Howieson said police remain “extremely concerned” about the sisters and urged anyone with information about their whereabouts to contact police.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0735 of January 7.
