You are called to investigate a murder in a house. There are six suspects of the murder. The corpse was found in the living room.

It is confirmed that one of them is a murderer.

The responses of all six people are as given below:
Jerry:
Patrick was in the 2nd bedroom.
So was I.
Max was in the bathroom.

Molly:
I agree with Jerry that Max was in the bathroom and Patrick was in the 2nd bedroom.
But I think that Jerry was in the living room, OH MY GOD!

Patrick:
Molly was in the kitchen with Mike.
But I was in the bathroom.

Max:
I still say Patrick was in the 2nd bedroom and Catherine was in the bathroom.
Jerry was in the 1st bedroom.

Catherine:
Patrick was in the bathroom with Mike.
And Molly was in the kitchen.

Mike:
Max was in the kitchen.
And I was in the 2nd bedroom with Patrick.

The house accommodates eight rooms: Living Room, 3 Bedrooms, Kitchen, Bathroom, Garage and Basement. Any number of people could have been present in any of the rooms at the same time.
