Reposting the original chart for the approximate time of disappearance.
Some asteroids have been inserted, that might shed some light on the situation.
Notice that when the body was found, the new moon was exactly conjunct Venus of the event chart at 0 degrees pisces. Venus is depositor of asteroid Nicky.
POF at 28 taurus in this chart for the approximate time of 9:20am, squares Venus, working against her.
Obviously, POF shifts as the time may vary, but it would only be later rather than earlier, given the 9:10 sighting of Nicola by a dog walker. So it would be closer to the Venus square.
At 9:23 POF exactly squares Venus.
Neptune on the ascendent refers not only to water, but also to all the confusion that has been circulating about this case.
And, it could also refer to the medium who apparently found the body, as per the article I posted earlier.
Asteroid Eris (Eris represents
strife and discord. It is associated with self-expression and rebellion.) conjunct moon, both separating from asteroid Paul (the partner) and approaching the opposition to asteroid Nicky.
She was obviously in a severe state of emotional sufferance.
To not overlook the obvious, 6th of small animals (Willow, her dog) is ruled by joyous sun in the 12th of her self-undoing. It trines mars (violent action) near the cusp of the 3rd, the walk.
It could be a simple matter of her dog playfully jumping on her, and she lost her footing and slipped down the muddy bank into the water, where there may have been a sinkhole.
There is no asteroid for Willow, but the generic name for the willow is Salix, and this asteroid lies at 22 Capricorn in the chart, exactly square the moon.
Conjunct descendent is asteroid Thereus, representing the hunter or stalker.
The dog's harness was found, contrary to early reports, halfway down the riverbank slope. She may have been "hunting" it.
