**Jo Slade** is a minor antagonist in the 2006 video game Dead Rising. She is also an optional boss in the main mode 72 Hours, who can be found on the 2nd day at 12 p.m. in Wonderland Plaza in the Lovely Fashion House women's clothing store in the scoop *Above The Law*.

She is a corrupt policewoman with certain sadistic tendencies who kidnapped at least four young women (Kay Nelson, Kelly Carpenter, Lilly Deacon, and Janet Star) to sexually harass them and call them the degenerative names. According to Janet Star, Jo killed many more women, and chances are she killed those who tried to save them. She is also one of Frank West's arch-nemeses.

She was voiced by Carol Bach Y. Rita.

## What Makes Her Pure Evil?

* She kidnapped several women throughout the mall, then tied them up in a clothing store to torture them physically and sexually just out of sadism. She is also strongly implied to have raped them too.
* She killed other hostages she had once she was fed up with them as she accuses one of her hostages, Kay Nelson, of "luring" another man into the store and she murdered at least 3 of them as Janet Star said she "already killed a few of us"
* It is implied that she tried to abduct Tonya Waters, shooting Tonya's boyfriend, Ross Folk, when he intervened. Ross's injuries are severe enough that he will commit suicide if given a gun by Frank.
* She excitedly threatens to molest Kay with a nightstick for denying luring Frank West into the clothing store and this was not the first time either as she tells Jo not to do it again and Jo visibly takes pleasure in the mental and sexual torture she inflicts, sadistically smiling as she causes it during her intro cutscene. Thankfully, Frank stopped her before things could get worse.
* After she threatens Frank, she tells him not to interfere with official police business otherwise she will start with him before she gets to Kay, with her holding a nightstick next to her genitals after she said that, implying she might have taken him hostage and raped him as well, had he failed in defeating her.
* During the fight, she will attempt to stun Frank so she can go back to torturing the hostages with beatings and electrocutions, and if she tortures them enough, she will kill them.
* After the four women were rescued by Frank, they all showed disgust at what Jo had done to them, with them being traumatized or negatively affected by their experience with her in some way.
* Unlike most psychopaths in the series, Jo is proven to have full moral agency as she had enough self control to realize she could commit her horrible acts without repercussions, is shown to be more intelligent and openly sane then the majority of psychopaths in the series and after being defeated by Frank, she does not snap back into reality or show any remorse for what she has done, only moaning because Frank managed to defeat her.
* Despite the series' high standards, Jo still qualifies due to her tortures and rapes inflicted on her hostages, along with her decent kill count and attempted body count, which are pretty unique crimes for the series, along with having the most amount of hostages affected by her actions with four in total, while most psychopaths only have around 1-2 at best.
