The general manager of Lou's bar stated that Rich was a "couple-of beers kind of guy," and that "despondent and drunk" was "just not Seth. I never saw him drunk or even tipsy."<ref>Jeff Stein, "Seth Rich: inside the killing of the DNC staffer," ''Newsweek'' (August 20, 2016) http://www.newsweek.com/seth-rich-murder-dnc-hack-julian-assange-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-492084</ref> The walk home time has been estimated at 30 minutes, but whether or not Rich went to a second bar before heading towards home, remains to be shown. Fox News has presented a video of Lou's bar and the neighborhood of that bar, also of the nearby Wonderland Ballroom bar, and what the possible walk-for-home route looks like.<ref>Marina Marraco, "What happened during final hours slain DNC employee Seth Rich was alive?"
