Imagine discovering that the bowl of soto you enjoyed might have come from one of Indonesia's most disturbing murder cases. In this episode of You Can't Unhear, we examine the infamous Lamongan soto case involving Benget Situmorang, better known as Impus, whose brutal crime sparked nationwide rumors that human meat had been served to unsuspecting customers. We separate verified facts from speculation while following the complete investigation that shocked Jakarta in 2013.

From a history of domestic violence and multiple affairs to a gruesome attempt to dispose of evidence, this episode explores how one murder evolved into an urban legend that continues to haunt Indonesia. We also examine why the rumor spread so quickly, what investigators actually discovered, and why the truth remains just unsettling enough to keep people talking more than a decade later.
