A Franklin County man who was wounded Saturday in an apparent suicide attempt appears to be making a "dramatic" recovery, law enforcement officials said.
County deputies responded about noon Saturday to a house at 5047 Highway N in the Robertsville area after receiving a report that the homeowner, Randy O. Price, 39, had suffered a gunshot wound to the head.
Following a search of the property, deputies also found the body of Price's wife, Tiffany Price, 36, and are investigating the case as a possible murder/attempted suicide.
Price was transported by air ambulance to St. John's Mercy Medical Center, Creve Coeur, where he underwent surgery, the sheriff's office reported.
Lt. Chuck Subke said he interviewed Price at the hospital Sunday and had reports that man had been up and walking around.
Deputies on the scene began searching the property after the man's children told them that their mother had not been seen since Thursday, March 17.
About 2:10 p.m. deputies found the body of Tiffany Price in an RV parked in a shed at the residence. The woman had been shot, according to reports.
In an interview, the couple's 14-year-old daughter said Randy Price told her and her siblings that her mother would be gone for a few days. The girl said she sent text messages to her mother and received responses, but the mother would not answer her calls.

Police responding to a call for a gunshot found Randy O. Price, 39, shot in the head with a 9 MM handgun at his home on Highway N in Robertsville. While there, police later discovered the body of his wife in an RV on the property.
Tiffany Price, 36, had also been shot.
Franklin County Sheriff Gary F. Toelke said there were seven children at the residence when they arrived -- four children of the Prices, and three friends of the children.
According to police, Tiffany Price had not been seen by her children since Thursday.
Randy Price, police said, told their children that she had left to be "gone for a few days." Price's 14-year-old daughter sent text messages to her mother's phone, and received replies; however, phone calls were left unreturned.
