An American OnlyFans creator was abducted in broad daylight this week in northwest Mexico, after masked men forced her out of her Tesla Cybertruck in a brazen incident captured on vehicle cameras.
According to The New York Post, Nicole Pardo Molina, 20, was taken on Tuesday, January 20, outside a shopping mall in Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa state.
Surveillance footage shows three armed men pulling up alongside Molina’s distinctive lilac Cybertruck in a white Toyota Corolla before confronting her as she attempted to exit the vehicle.
In the video, Molina appears to resist, trying to shut the Corolla’s rear door and move back toward her truck. After a brief struggle, two of the men force her into the back seat while a third drives off. Authorities have not publicly released further details about her condition or whereabouts.
Molina, who is U.S.-born and raised, has built a sizable online following under the name “La Nicholette,” sharing lifestyle content across Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube. According to reporting by El País, she frequently travels between Culiacán and Phoenix, Arizona, where her parents live.
Her visibility in the city extended beyond social media. Molina reportedly owned a jewelry business and a hat-and-clothing shop located in the same shopping plaza where the kidnapping occurred. She was also widely recognized for driving the lilac Cybertruck, which made her easy to identify.
Molina first gained attention in Mexico as a teenager after commissioning a corrido—traditional narrative ballad—for her 16th birthday in 2022. The song, “La Muchacha del Salado,” performed by Grupo Arriesgado, has since accumulated tens of millions of views on YouTube.
Some older social media posts referenced “the man with the hat,” a nickname associated with Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, leader of a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. However, there are no confirmed links between Molina and any criminal organization.
The abduction comes amid a broader climate of violence in the region. Official figures show hundreds of women were reported kidnapped or missing in Sinaloa in 2025 alone, and several high-profile cases involving influencers have drawn international attention in recent years.
Mexican authorities have not announced arrests or identified suspects in Molina’s case as investigations continue.
