In a bizarre and ongoing mystery, residents of South Knoxville have been finding bags filled with a foul-smelling liquid scattered across their community. Dubbed ‘Soupgate,’ this peculiar phenomenon has led to the formation of a dedicated social media group aimed at identifying the culprit behind these unsettling deposits. The group, which has quickly gained traction, is working tirelessly to solve the mystery while bringing the community together in a shared effort to end the nuisance.
The Emergence of ‘Soupgate’
The ‘Soupgate’ saga began several months ago when residents started discovering bags of strange liquid on Pickens Gap Road. The liquid, described as having a terrible odor and an unappealing appearance, has been a source of frustration and concern for the community.

The ‘Soupgate’ group has become a hub for residents to share information and coordinate their efforts. Members document the date, time, and location of each bag found, hoping to identify patterns that could lead to the culprit. This collaborative approach has fostered a sense of unity among the residents, who are working together to solve the mystery.
Local authorities, including the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, are also involved in the investigation. While no arrests have been made, the ongoing efforts of both the community and law enforcement are aimed at bringing the perpetrator to justice. The Sheriff’s Office has encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity and continue documenting their findings.
The community’s proactive stance has not only brought them closer but also highlighted the power of social media in addressing local issues. The ‘Soupgate’ group serves as an example of how digital platforms can be used to mobilize and engage communities in solving real-world problems.
