ATLANTA (AP) — An 88-year-old man was decapitated in an exclusive gated community in Georgia and his wife has gone missing, the sheriff said Thursday, adding that the man's head hasn't been found.

Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said Russell Dermond was likely beheaded after he was killed, but the autopsy was pending. Sills said the cause of death hasn't been determined for the man whose body was found by friends on Tuesday.

Investigators fear Dermond's 87-year-old wife, Shirley, was abducted. They were searching for her Thursday with the help of the FBI.

The couple had been married for nearly seven decades, Sills said.
