- —Verlene, during the zombie break-in
Verlene Wells is a victim appearing in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.
She was found in the Entrance Plaza of the Willamette Parkview Mall with Dana Simms, and was killed when Lindsay Harris accidently let the zombies in.
Introduction[]

Verlene was found attempting to comfort a depressed Dana. When the zombies broke into the mall, she abandoned Dana and attempted to get into a store, but the security gate prevented her from doing so.
She screamed for help but was soon killed by the zombies before she could reach safety.

Kent Swanson shows Frank West a picture of Verlene and Dana hugging as his "most emotionally moving shot".

Verlene appears at Theater 4 at Colby's Movieland with Alyssa Laurent from 3:07:00 to 3:19:00 and is armed with a 2x4. In her equipment she carries a Squash, a Dumbbell, a Shovel, a second 2x4, and a Golf Club.
Trivia[]
- Her photo is used for the marathon runner achievement, a joke on Verlene promising Dana that she'd be with her the whole time, but ran away from Dana's side during the zombie break-in.
- Verlene tells Dana that "help is on the way". This shows that Verlene was willing to lie to people in order to comfort them, as the only known source of escape at the time was Ed DeLuca's helicopter (which only Frank knew about), and the Special Forces weren't notified about the mall's invasion until 2 days later.
- It may be possible that her and Dana were originally going to be in the scoop The Woman Who Didn't Make It, because her and Dana's character models were never used for zombies, and in the beta version, Rachel Decker had a completely different character model and the current model that is used by Rachel was used for zombies in the beta version. So it may be possible that Rachel and Jolie Wu were originally going to be victims while Dana and Verlene were going to be survivors.
