He seemed like Lars.

Otherwise, one of them probably would have raised some sort of alarm bells and been like, hey, maybe we should stay here.

But they said he seemed relaxed.

He was in a good mood.

And so they took off.

So being summer, Lars had a hard time getting a hotel room because everything was booked up and he was staying on extra.

So he ends up having to check into the Hotel Color Varna, which was a really seedy place that this cab driver takes him to.

Apparently a lot of drug dealers, a lot of sex workers, but that was kind of the only place available there.

And we don't know a lot about what happened that night other than these phone calls and texts that he exchanges with his mom.

So one thing, though, about the hotel color, I looked at it.

TripAdvisor gives it a 4 out of 5, and Booking.com has it at 7.8 out of 10.

And it is definitely cheap.

I think rooms are like $25 American dollars a night, which is suspiciously cheap.

Yeah.

Yeah, there is like probably some criminal activity there, but that it's not like –

It's not like a trap house hotel or anything like that.

But it was – the fact that it was his only option I think kind of tells you quite a bit too about it.

Sure.

So he goes to this hotel.

He checks in.
