Let me post this again...

Kock said Sunday he feels the investigation is moving in the right direction, as police have scrutinized cell phone records and Internet traffic as part of the probe.

Those records, Kock said, show Joran Van Der Sloot called Deepak Kalpoe about 2:40 a.m. on the morning Holloway disappeared. In that call, according to Deepak Kalpoe's statements, Joran Van Der Sloot told him he had left Holloway on the beach and was walking home. About 40 minutes later, Kock said -- about the time it would take him to walk home -- Joran Van Der Sloot text-messaged Deepak Kalpoe to tell him he had arrived.

"I just think this goes to show that the story that Deepak and Satish are telling ... is substantiated by facts," Kock said.

Why would Joran be calling (2:40am) and text messaging (3:20am) Deepak so much? - I mean if the brothers left him on the beach with Natalee why would they worry or want to know about how he was going to get home? Usually buddy's would just say I will see or talk to you tomorrow. Take it easy...

It could be part of their planned cover story if PvdS was already advising them how to cover up the crime.

Perhaps to make it look like he walked home?!?

You beat me to it. Doesn't sound like a very "guy" thing to do...must be more to the msg than "hey, I'm all tucked in now..."
