Last September, we shared photos of Colorado's top twenty most wanted sex offenders. Since then, the list has been updated, and while there's a new number one (Ronald Dean Stanley), many of them remain at large...and so do a slew of others, many with mug shots that are flat-out chilling. Look below to see what struck us as the twenty most disturbing, accompanied by details about the crimes for which each person is wanted and more.

An important note before we get started: If you have any information that might lead to the capture of the suspects seen here, phone the Colorado Bureau of Investigation 24-hour tip line at 303-239-5732 or the national Crimestoppers hotline, 800-222-TIPS (8477).
