A 20-year-old Mexican-American OnlyFans influencer was found alive and in good health, just days after chilling surveillance video captured her being kidnapped by drug cartel gunmen.
Nicole Pardo “La Nicholette” Molina, who has more than 180,000 followers on Instagram and over 145,000 on TikTok, was seen being surrounded by masked gunmen and shoved into a Toyota Corolla Tuesday outside a shopping mall in Culiacan and whisked away, prompting a search by authorities.
Late Saturday, the Sinaloa Attorney General’s Office announced she was found alive.
“Thanks to citizens’ cooperation, Nicole Pardo Molina has been located,” the office said on Facebook.
Molina, a frequent presence on Instagram, TikTok, Twitch and YouTube, was born and raised in the US and frequently travels between Culiacan and Phoenix, Arizona, where her parents live, CNN reported.
She gained online fame in Mexico after commissioning a “corrido,” a traditional Mexican ballad, for her 16th birthday in 2022, reportedly using money she was gifted for her quinceanera.
The ballad, “La Muchacha de Salado” by the group Grupo Arriesgado, has more than 27 million vies on YouTube, and has given her fame and fortune — she has a jewelry business and a clothing shop near the shopping plaza where she was kidnapped.
Mexican authorities tracked the vehicle and issued a missing persons alert on Friday.
No details were given about her rescue.
Sinaloa has long been plagued by drug wars and violent cartel abductions, with 72 women and girls killed by the violent squads last year, more than double the 2024 figure of 31.
