Aldea Malvada is a small ghost town in the Sierra Nevada, located just east of Bridgeport, California, on the Nevada side of the border. It was once a Native American settlement, but it was burned out and abandoned at some point, and it became a ghost town. In 1992, Carl Johnson was sent to the ghost town to assassinate district attorney Paul R. Bachus, who was in possession of a dossier containing incriminating evidence against corrupt policeman Frank Tenpenny.
