A young Texas mom who worked as an exotic dancer was found murdered two weeks after she posted a video showing a tracking device she found in her car.

Abigail Saldana was allegedly shot by a customer who frequented Rick's Cabaret in Fort Worth, Texas where she danced.


The suspect had a previous complaint against him for harassing and stalking the victim.


According to WFAA, Fort Worth police responded to an emergency call on Tuesday of a major accident where they found Saldana's body inside her vehicle along Highway 183.

"Upon arrival officers located a female victim inside of her vehicle with apparent gunshot wounds to her torso," read a police statement.

The body was identified as Saldana's and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect, 54-year-old Stanley Szeliga, was booked on a murder charge tied to her death.


Police learned during a subsequent investigation that Szeliga was "having issues recently with the suspect."

An arrest warrant said an employee at Rick's told detectives the 22-year-old "had recently been harassed by a customer" and "indicated that Abigail was frightened of Stan because he was stalking and harassing her."


Investigators were shown Saldana's post from October 14, 2021 in which she said she'd "found a tracker that Stan had hidden on her car in an effort to follow her."


"This is so crazy, you guys; so crazy. Who would do this?" Saldana said in the video that was captioned with:

"Check under your cars ladies! This is no joke and sometimes you think it will never be you!"

The Instagram clip was shared to YouTube, which you can see, here.

Saldana's mother, Jessica Contreras, said her daughter reported finding the tracker to the police.

On October 27, a SWAT team served a search warrant and forced their way into Szeliga's apartment, where they found the suspect "located on a balcony of the residence and was found with several self-inflicted cut wounds on various parts of his body," according to police.

Szeliga was charged with murder and is currently held at the Tarrant County Lon Evans Correction Center in Fort Wort on a $250,000 bond.

Contreras, who lives in Wichita Falls, said her daughter moved to Dallas a few years ago with her 5-year-old son.

She said of Szeliga:

"He took her away from me, and I'm gonna make sure every time he has a court date, he will see my face there. He's gonna see that Abby was never alone."



The grieving mother added every day without her daughter has been a living nightmare.

She told the news outlet:

"Her not being here, her son without a mother, that's the hardest part every day."

As of November 2, Fort Worth police said the investigation was ongoing.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
