He's probably been rehearsing already for his parents coming to visit. He has probably been trying to find ways to sugarcoat what he did. So I'd suspect that's why he came out with a mixture of truth and lies.
The whole story about arguing with SW before he killed her, I bet that's what he planned to tell his parents. He knew they'd want to know "the trigger", why he killed her. He didn't expect they would ask about a host of other things. They are ready and willing to believe what they want to hear at any rate.
The difference between rehearsing for his parents and for investigators is a matter of what questions to ask, how to ask them, and when. I imagine investigators are trained in things like physical cues and body language, how to read it and how to affect their own. They also know the facts of the case and how to trip him up, something his parents wouldn't know how to do.
Just a theory. A likely one IMO
This is exactly my opinion too. He has had months to come up with a "story" for his parents and possibly other prisoners. Just because he didn't know investigators were coming; doesn't mean he wasn't already working on a story to tell.
He was trying to come up with a story that didn't show premeditation. He knows that this whole thing being pre planned makes it all worse. So he has tried to omit anything that makes it look planned in advance.
