BURNABY, B.C. Holidays have been the hardest for the family of Nicole Porciello. Carmine Porciello doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to his little sister not being around anymore. “When you sit down for a family dinner, it’s hard not to notice her seat is empty,” he told CTV News Vancouver on Sunday. “Where she would have been, she’s not there.” Porciello, also known as Nicole Hasselmann, died in November 2018 after being thrown out of a vehicle along Barnet Highway in Burnaby. According to an agreed statement of facts, the SUV was crashed deliberately by Jan Poepl, her on-again, off-again boyfriend for some seven years.
