According to the map in Pictures of the Pain, Altgens and Bothun were about fifteen feet from each other. Altgens was literally looking over Bothun's left shoulder at that point -- about 200 feet from the limo. Altgens must have been using a telephoto lens, which explains why Bothun is not visible.
