OnlyFans star Nicole Pardo Molina, affectionately known by her fans as "La Nicholette," has been found safe and sound after a terrifying ordeal that gripped the hearts of many. The Sinaloa Attorney General's Office announced on January 24 that the beloved influencer had been located, bringing relief to her followers and family.
An official update shared on Instagram by the Attorney General's Office expressed gratitude to the public for their help: "🚨🔍🔔 #FiscalíaSinaloa thanks the citizen collaboration, NICOLE PARDO MOLINA, was already located," they wrote on January 25.
“The Trump Administration has no greater priority than the safety and security of US citizens, and the State Department stands ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance to Americans in need abroad,” a State Department spokesperson told CNN.
The dramatic kidnapping unfolded on January 20, as captured by cameras on Pardo's Tesla lilac Cybertruck. Footage revealed two men intercepting her vehicle in a shopping center in Culiacán, Mexico, forcing her into their car after a brief struggle. The incident led to a state-level search under the Alba Protocol, emphasizing the potential peril Pardo faced.
Reports suggest that tensions between cartel groups may have played a role in her abduction. Initial investigations revealed that armed men in a stolen vehicle used tire spikes to halt Pardo's SUV, then forcibly took her. Social media buzz, especially on TikTok, linked the Los Mayos faction to the crime.
Following Pardo's safe return, Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed that the vehicles involved were under surveillance. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department assured they were monitoring the situation closely, highlighting the international concern surrounding the case.
Pardo, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Mexico, splits her life between Culiacán and Phoenix, Arizona. With over 200,000 Instagram followers and a thriving OnlyFans account, she remains a prominent figure in the digital world. Her recent abduction has sparked widespread discussion and support across social media, with one Instagram user poignantly commenting, "God willing you return safely 🙏🏼."
