A terrible crime has been committed and the police round up the usual suspects. During the interrogation of the four men the following accusations and statements are made:

Anderson said "Brimmers did it."
Brimmers said "Dodge did it."
Carter said "I didn't do it."
Dodge said "Brimmers lied when he said I did it."

If only one of the four men was untruthful, which man committed the crime?

(In reply to Solution by Dustin)

It is evident that A,B and D are contradicting themselves, so C has to be the guilty person.

PS: I have a concern with problems of this sort because claiming that one didn't do anything is not a sufficient basis for assuming their guilt. I would rather believe the point of problems of this sort is eliminating logical conclusions.
