One former Philadelphia weatherman could never have forecast what would happen on his Florida vacation.

John Bolaris claims that when he traveled to Miami in March 2010, he was drugged and conned out of over $43,000 by two Eastern European “bar girls.” The 54-year-old just recently came forward to speak with ABC’s “20/20” about the scandal that ultimately cost him his position as a meteorologist at Fox 29.

Bolaris says he was alone at a South Beach bar when two attractive women approached him, he told “20/20” on Friday. The ex-weatherman said the women sounded like they were Russian, and they pressured him to take a shot.

The ladies seemed “very nice, like the girls next door,” Bolaris explained, “This wasn’t a hooker type thing.” However, in an interview appearing in the January 2012 issue of Playboy, Bolaris did note that he thought he “might get laid,” Around Philly reports.

Bolaris had a few drinks with his new friends, he says, then got into a cab with them, supposedly to look at a painting their friend was selling for charity. His memory grows fuzzy after that point. He told “20/20” he had a vague recollection of “signing something” and riding in another taxi with a large painting.

The next thing Bolaris fully remembers, the Daily Mail reports, is waking up fully clothed in his hotel room with the painting. He says he then received a phone call from one of the women, who was offering to return his sunglasses that she had taken accidentally.

Bolaris wanted to give the painting back, so he agreed to meet up, according to the New York Daily News. That evening, Bolaris took yet another taxi ride with the two women. Instead of taking him to return the painting, however, the women got out of the cab at an unmarked storefront and beckoned Bolaris to join them. That’s the last he remembers of that night.
