Neighbors were fatigued by the media horde descending on Massapequa Park while other gawkers drove by the Heuermann home Wednesday morning awaiting news of a plea.
Some residents leaving for work and walking their dogs greeted reporters with an emphatic "no, no, no!" as they passed by.
Other curious onlookers like Liz Engel, of Seaford, drove by admitting she was nosy.
"I've been following it since day one. It's just amazing to me that this person lived here all along and everything else fell by the wayside" Engel said. "We've wasted three years of taxpayer dollars and the court system when everyone thought he was guilty from the beginning. I'm just relieved he was found."
