Just to add to this one you removed the inner door panel?Sounds like someone tried to slim jim the car and knocked off the outside handle rod from the door latch.Plus the child locks must be on preventing the inside handle from working.You can still reach the rods thru the inside there is a big opening at the bottom of the door under the inner door panel.

There is one thing you could try make sure the door is unlocked.Then open the front door then pop up the belt molding at the base of the rear window on top of the outter door skin.You will be able to pop the outter belt molding all the way up it wont come off there is a torx screw holding it on that you cant reach with the door closed.Then you can flex the outter door skin and reach your arm down the door skin to open the door.Just becareful not to break the outter door skin.
