The moment a young woman was reportedly kidnapped in broad daylight from her car has been caught on camera. Grainy dashcam footage shows when a white car pulled up next to Nicole Pardo in a street in the city of Culiacán in Mexico on January 20. 

Ms Pardo, a famous TikTok star and OnlyFans model in her native Mexico, had previously become famous on social media for her unusual coloured car, a purple Tesla Cybertruck worth around £80,000. Footage shared on social media shows the young influencer step out of her vehicle on the street before three armed men from a white car grab her. The men then force Ms Pardo into the back seat of their car and drive off.

A missing person report from the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Sinaloa, said the 20-year-old Mexican was around 5’3″ tall and was described as wearing a purple blouse, black trousers and black sandals at the time of her disappearance.

The report added: “The last time she was seen was on January 20, 2026, at her residence located in the Isla Musala subdivision, Culiacán, Sinaloa, and to date, there is no further information about her whereabouts.

“It is believed that her safety may be at risk, as she may be the victim of a crime.”

Local news site FIA, reported Ms Pardo, who uses the online name La Nicholette, was taken from the Isla Musala neighborhood with an emergency call to police made around 3.55pm on Tuesday.

It’s understood the armed used tyre spikes thrown in front of Ms Pardo’s car to stop her Tesla truck forcing her to come to a halt.

The Mexican state of Sinaloa is a hotbed of organised drug gangs and home to the feared Sinaloa Cartel, for years the biggest and most powerful criminal organisation in Mexico. Kidnapping for ransoms is just one of the horror tactics often employed by the cartels.

Federal authorities said they are keeping an open mind as to the reason for the kidnapping and are working with local law enforcement agencies to locate Ms Pardo.
