Onorato was working with an outside work crew at the cow dairy when he went missing, the DOC said.

He's serving time for Motor Vehicle Theft (6 Years Larimer County), Drug Abuse (20 months Denver County), and Robbery (3 Years Larimer County). Those sentences are to run concurrently.

He was last seen wearing a green prison jumpsuit. The DOC also said Onorato has facial hair that is not shown in the photo released.
