Nicole Pardo Molina, the OnlyFans star who goes by "La Nicholette," has been located alive and unharmed after being abducted at gunpoint. The Sinaloa Attorney General's Office confirmed the good news, sharing an updated missing persons poster on January 24 that announced her recovery.
The office's official Instagram account expressed gratitude for public assistance in a post on January 25, stating, "🚨🔍🔔 #FiscalíaSinaloa thanks the citizen collaboration, NICOLE PARDO MOLINA, was already located." CNN supported this with reports that Pardo was found in good health.
Pardo's disappearance prompted a state-level search under the Alba Protocol after she was last seen on January 20. The authorities indicated concerns for her safety, hinting at potential criminal involvement. A disturbing video from her Tesla Cybertruck's cameras showed two men accosting Pardo at a shopping center in Culiacán, Sinaloa, before forcibly taking her.
“According to initial investigations, three armed men in a stolen white vehicle threw tire spikes at the SUV the victim was traveling in, intercepted it, and then forced the victim into the car,” stated authorities.
Reports suggested that cartel tensions might have played a role in her abduction, with social media speculating on the involvement of the Los Mayos faction.
Nicole Pardo Molina, who has dual citizenship with the United States and Mexico and a strong online presence with over 200,000 Instagram followers, splits her time between Culiacán and Phoenix, Arizona. The U.S. State Department acknowledged awareness of her situation, emphasizing its commitment to the safety of American citizens abroad.
"The Trump Administration has no greater priority than the safety and security of US citizens," a State Department spokesperson told CNN. Meanwhile, Pardo's followers filled her social media with heartfelt messages, expressing relief and hope for her well-being.
