Back in March, we shared a photo gallery of criminals with Colorado connections who landed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List during the roster’s sixty-year history.
But the FBI’s Denver branch has a most wanted list of its own — four murderers and one attempted murderer whose capture remain the office’s top priority. As FBI spokesman Dave Joly points out, one of the quintet — Fracisco Alfonso Murillo — was featured late last month by America’s Most Wanted in its “Fifteen Seconds of Shame” segment.
Page through below to learn more about Murillo and others wanted for all the wrong reasons:
