The family of Charleston Goodman wants to set the record straight about some of the information coming out about their son's kidnapping and presumed killing.
Nearly a year after his abduction, he is still missing.
They also want answers from those responsible.
"I'm not too proud to beg. So I'm begging you in the name of Jesus. Tell where my child is," Tammie Goodman, Charleston's mother said.
This is the one gift Tammie and Charlie Goodman Sr. want this Christmas.
DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- It's been five years since Rikela Smith's brother, Charleston Goodman, vanished in Durham. He was forced into a silver minivan on Woodcroft Parkway by five men he did not know and was never seen again.
"There's not a day that goes by I don't think about him," said Goodman's sister Rikela Smith. "We've continuously been told that all the tips and information investigators have gotten has led them nowhere."
Still holding out hope, Goodman's sister and niece were one of the dozens who descended on RTI International Friday for the research organization's first Missing Persons Day.
"I'm just so glad there's an event like this for us. I think we have to put the humanity back in missing people. I think it's so easily looked over," said Goodman's niece Taylah Smith.
For the one-day event at its headquarters in Research Triangle Park, RTI teamed up with the SBI; the National Missing and Unidentified Missing Persons System (NAMUS); and local law enforcement -- to be a one-stop resource for loved ones of the missing.
