An OnlyFans influencer based out of Phoenix with ties to the cartel has gone missing in Mexico.
20-year-old Nicole Pardo Molina was apparently kidnapped while in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico last week. Cartels operate heavily out of Sinaloa.
Video from Pardo Molina’s Tesla Cybertruck showed two armed men approach and force her into another vehicle, a stolen white Toyota Corolla, at gunpoint. Pardo Molina’s boutique sold merchandise bearing depictions of cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
Pardo Molina drove a distinctive purple Tesla that stood out in Culiacan. Pardo Molina split her time between Phoenix and the area of Sinaloa where her father was reportedly from. Pardo Molina lived in a more affluent neighborhood within Culiacan. Blog Del Narco reported Pardo Molina was originally from an area linked to a certain faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, La Mayiza. Pardo Molina’s apparent cartel support aligned with the enemies of La Mayiza: Los Chapitos, the other Sinaloan Cartel faction.
Mexican authorities told El Pais that their initial investigations revealed at least three men were involved. The kidnappers allegedly threw tire spikes at Pardo Molina’s vehicle to strand her and force her into their vehicle.
Users online have speculated whether the kidnapping was staged. Others have argued the kidnapping was real, and that La Mayiza were behind it.
An anonymous source toldAZ Family that Pardo Molina once operated a boutique in Phoenix, but closed it down after the windows were broken.
Pardo Molina also operated an online storefront, “Nicholette Shop,” though the site appears to have been taken down.
A “narcocorrido” band popular in Mexico, Grupo Arriesgado, wrote a song about Pardo Molina in 2022, “La Muchacha del Salado,” after she commissioned it for her 16th birthday. Pardo Molina paid $5,000 for the song.
The song, which amassed nearly 30 million views and over 100,000 likes, gave her the initial boost to the influencer platform she has maintained.
Narcocorrido translates to “drug ballad”; these songs focus on drug trafficking and real-world events which disclose cartel crime. Grupo Arriesgado has been associated with the Sinaloa Cartel. Back in 2023, the band was run out of Tijuana by a warring cartel, the New Generation Jalisco Cartel.
Pardo Molina launched businesses after dropping out of school at 16 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The song implies Pardo Molina had involvement in cartel activities, referring to her involvement in “the business” from a young age.
Another Spanish narcocorrido artist, Manuel Rodriguez, released a song about Pardo Molina last year.
Another Mexican social media influencer, Atziri Valeria Marquez, was murdered last May during a TikTok live stream. Valeria Marquez was shot while on camera in her salon in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico.
Last June, U.S. authorities named Marquez’s former romantic partner at the time, Ricardo Ruiz Velasco, a ranking member of the New Generation Jalisco Cartel, as a suspect in her murder. The Treasury Department made their announcement as part of sanctions against Ruiz Velasco and four other New Generation Jalisco Cartel members.

A former Tucson councilman’s pornographic and violent past has resurfaced again amid his newly launched state senate race.
Tucson Councilman Rocque Perez advocated for the harm and murder of his political opponents and promoted pornography in the years immediately leading up to his foray into politics. Perez has since deleted all of the incriminating posts.
AZ Free Newscovered Perez’s rhetoric in October. These posts were made in 2020, around the time that Perez was a student body senator for the University of Arizona.
Perez advised his friend to murder conservative family members:
“So kill them, do your duty baby girl,” posted Perez.
Perez threatened to murder a classmate defending President Donald Trump:
“This vapid white girl is defending Trump[’s] response to COVID in my Zoom public relations class, do I end her or do I end her,” posted Perez.
Perez called for the assassination of Ivanka Trump:
“Someone throw this b***h off the capitol building roof please,” posted Perez.
Perez threatened to assault Trump if given the opportunity.
“Honestly I would take one for the team and knock him out if I could,” posted Perez.
Perez also wished for Trump to die from COVID-19, in multiple posts.
Perez called for the assault of conservative activist and pundit Kaitlin Bennett:
“How has she not gotten beat yet? Like… hath no one the bravery to literally hurt her cause…?” posted Perez.
Perez threatened to stab Trump voters:
“Roses are red, violets are blue, vote for Joe Biden, or I’ll cut you,” posted Perez.
Although Perez has ceased posting the caliber of violent rhetoric of his past, his actions indicate that he still holds the sentiments that inspired those deleted posts.
On Friday, Perez participated in a vigil for Renée Nicole Good, the Minnesota woman and anti-ICE activist fatally shot by law enforcement after driving her car in the direction of an ICE agent.
Along with advocating for assault and murder, Perez posted pornographic videos and pictures to promote his OnlyFans account.
In one of the posts, Perez claimed he engaged in sexual activities with an unnamed male professor and was later solicited by the professor’s husband.
In another post made in March 2021, Perez claimed to have masturbated while at work at the University of Arizona.
“Guys I’m so horny I might jerk off somewhere at work, stay tuned,” posted Perez. “Update: loads of bro butter at work.”
Both Perez’s personal and porn accounts were public. As a result, at least one minor engaged with Perez’s work. The California Globeuncovered in a report that one minor at the time, now a staffer for Tucson Vice Mayor Lane Santa Cruz, engaged with Perez’s porn account.
What is going on with AZ Senate candidate Rocque Perez? Why is he working with children if he’s been known to share pornographic material with minors? What is this education commission he has been affiliated with? Why are their events only for people of voting age? Is taxpayer… https://t.co/JwlAwuFkHe
— AZ Representative Rachel (Jones) Keshel (@RJ4arizona) January 9, 2026
Although his pornography was public and clearly visible to minors, Perez would go on to become executive director for a nonprofit directly involved with minors: the Metropolitan Education Commission (MEC), created by Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. MEC advises and makes recommendations on K-12 education for all of Pima County.
Perez launched his state senate campaign in December, around when his six-month appointment to the Tucson City Council came to an end.

The woman who gained international notoriety nearly a decade ago for faking her race, Rachel Dolezal (now Nkechi Amare Diallo), was fired from her job teaching elementary school children in Tucson shortly after news broke of her publicly advertising her porn on OnlyFans.
Diallo worked as an after-school educator in the Community Schools program within the Catalina Foothills School District. The district hired her for $19 an hour. She ran a gardening club for those students.
On Tuesday, Libs of TikTok posted one of Diallo’s provactive images on X (formerly Twitter) along side some of her racy posts. (Warning: You can view the post here, but it is not safe for work or if you’re around children.
Diallo launched her OnlyFans in 2021, initially as a lifestyle page dedicated mainly to workouts based on initial media coverage and her own social media posts on the subject. About a year later in 2022, Diallo began to transition the page into its current state of straight-porn content with risque postings of her wearing lingerie — a move that was widely reported on and trending on social media.
Diallo charged about $10 a month for access to her porn. The OnlyFans account was included in her LinkTree on both her public Facebook and Instagram pages.
According to social media posts, Diallo moved to Arizona around July 2020 after her son was admitted to the University of Arizona. Last March, Diallo attended Gov. Katie Hobbs’ signing of a ban on hair discrimination, legislation modeled after a California law prohibiting discrimination against employees’ hair texture and establishing protective styles such as braids, locs, twists, knots, and headwraps. In a comparison of the photos posted by Diallo and the governor’s office of the event, it appears that Diallo was cropped out.
Diallo’s racial deceit was discovered in 2015, after a Spokane, Washington news outlet questioned her about her parents and her race during an interview about racial justice and racially motivated hate crimes. At the time, Diallo was the NAACP Spokane president and an Africana studies lecturer at Eastern Washington University.
The interaction between Diallo and the reporter went viral. Shortly after Diallo was outed for faking her race, she stepped down as the local NAACP chapter president and embarked on a media tour explaining that she was “transracial.”
Despite all the controversy that arose over her “transracial” identity, Diallo managed in the subsequent years to maintain a sizable following that yielded speaking engagements, artwork sales, a memoir, and a Netflix documentary.
In 2018, the year her Netflix documentary came out, Diallo was charged with welfare fraud for taking over $8,000 in relief by hiding her memoir income. The following year, Diallo agreed to a plea deal to repay the thousands and complete community service.
