An OnlyFans creator from Arizona, who is alleged to have connections to a criminal organization, was forcibly taken by several armed men in Mexico on Tuesday, as seen in video of the event.

The alleged abduction of 20-year-old Mexican-American Nicole Pardo Molina, recognizable for her unique lilac Cybertruck, was recorded by her own vehicle’s cameras.

Per a Spanish news outlet, the event occurred outside a mall in Culiacán, Sinaloa, where she was vending items featuring the likeness of cartel boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. The region where she resided and her father is from is said to be under the control of a competing faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, indicating the kidnapping could be related to gang conflict.

El Pais reported that Molina, who boasts over 180,000 Instagram followers, was confronted by a white Toyota Corolla and several assailants. They allegedly deployed tire spikes to stop her vehicle before drawing up next to 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,” authorities stated, according to El País.

The footage shows chaos breaking out as she resisted, frantically attempting to shut the Toyota’s rear passenger door and climb back into her own car.

The attackers seemed to finally subdue her and push her into the back of their car, while a third accomplice in the driver’s seat accelerated from the scene.

El País reported that Molina was a familiar figure in Culiacán due to her modified lilac Cybertruck, which made her easy to identify.

Authorities have verified the incident and initiated a missing persons investigation to find the 20-year-old. They are examining potential connections to the continuing territorial disputes among rival cartels.

Officials from the Attorney General’s Office stated they have no details on her location, adding, “It is considered that her safety may be at risk, as she could be a victim of a crime.”

Molina was born and grew up in the United States, and her parents live there, El País reported. She often travels between Culiacán and Phoenix, where her family resides.

El País further noted that Molina reportedly left the U.S. following the COVID-19 pandemic to seek business opportunities in Mexico.

Although no confirmed criminal affiliations existed before her kidnapping, authorities and media indicate the event might be connected to feuds between cartels.

Official statistics show that in 2025 alone, hundreds of women were kidnapped or went missing in Sinaloa. An increasing number of influencers have also faced threats or death for promoting or referencing particular cartel groups. For example, in May 2025, influencer Valeria Marquez was killed during a TikTok live broadcast.
