Arsonist lived in 600 block of East McKellips
Google maps says 600 East McKellips is between College and Rural.
That is very close to the Scottsdale Tempe border.
I think the border between Tempe and Scottsdale in that area
might be a half mile north on Continental Drive,
and perhaps a forth of a mile to the east on Scottsdale Road.
