OnlyFans Creator Kidnapped in Culiacán Believed to be Linked to Sinaloa Cartel

Nicole Pardo Molina, known as ‘La Nicholette’, was apparently taken by armed men on Saturday in a residential neighborhood in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico.

Prado, 25, was seen on surveillance footage from her purple Cybertruck being ambushed by a small white vehicle occupied by men armed with assault rifles, then abducted and driven away on Saturday, Jan. 20.

Prado, who is active on the sexual content platform, OnlyFans, is also active on the social media platform, TikTok, where she shares videos of her daily lifestyle with a substantial following.

Prado previously owned a boutique merchandise shop in Phoenix, Arizona, according to friends and acquaintances, and spends time traveling between her Arizona home and the Culiacán area, which is also home to one of the most powerful drug organizations in Mexico–the Sinaloa Cartel.

People who owned or operated shops near where Prado once owned her business say that Prado specialized in the sale of “merch” that celebrated the former Sinaloa Cartel chieftain, Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán.

There are now sources saying that a drug faction based in Mexico, allegedly associated with the Sinaloa Cartel, that publishes narcocorridos, or drug ballads glorifying the drug trafficking gangs in Mexico, and referenced Prado in one of their songs as ‘La Muchacha del Salado’, or The Lady from El Salado.

“The corrido literally says that she’s connected to them, but I don’t know,” said one business owner.

Shortly after the kidnapping, local Mexican authorities issued an alert called “Protocolo Alba”, which notifies police officers in the area of a missing person, and that the individual is at risk of harm.
