Kelly Tuthill Reports On Babysitter's Reaction

An autopsy was planned Monday for Amelia Luhrmann whose body was found Sunday under the rubble. The Moultonborough, New hampshire explosion was apparently sparked by gas.

Monday, Amelia Luhrmann's baby sitter spoke to NewsCenter 5's Kelly Tuthill about losing a little girl she loved.

"She was the funniest kid. A ham. If you ask anyone the things they remember about Amelia, they remember the funny things. She was nut. Curly hair and smile too," said Aly Trasher, 18, remembering Luhrmann. Trasher has been baby-sitting at the Lurhman''s Medfield home several days a week.

Sunday, she saw the horrible images from Moultonborough, N.H., where the Lurhmann's summer home was destroyed by a gas explosion and fire.

"I fell to the floor and I couldn't stop crying," said Trasher. [Amelia's] a ham. She's the coolest kid. It hits you like a ton of bricks."

Trasher is amazed that Amelia's parents, grandparents, sister and brother escaped.

"I am so surprised that it turned out, sadly, as well as did. Just because it was so devastating looking," she said.

The Luhrmann's are longtime members of the United Church of Christ in Medfield. The Rev. Philip Bauman drove to New Hampshire Sunday. He told NewsCenter 5 that all he could do was cry, grieve and pray with the devastated family. Bauman baptized Amelia and called her, "a little doll."

"She's going to be missed by everyone. People who met her once, they'll remember her, because she's got that memorable attitude, cute face. It's really sad," said Trasher.

The fire marshal's office reported Sunday that propane gas ignited, causing the explosion and fire. Officials still were trying to determine the source of the ignition and the sequence of explosions at the home on Ash Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Fire marshal's investigator William Clark said the home's propane tank ruptured, and investigators were working to find out if the tank was involved in the initial blast, or was damaged and exploded afterward.

The house, like most in the area, was a second home, used mainly for summer weekends, police said. They believed the victims were up for the long Memorial Day holiday, traditionally the beginning of the summer boating season.

Moultonborough, population about 4,500, is on the northern shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake. The town is about 40 miles north of Concord, N.H.
