Sounds to me like the problem is at the lock mechanism itself.
If someone yanked on the door handle hard enough to bend or break the linkage to the lock, then you've got to fish down inside the door and trip the lock release lever on your own.
Do some exploratory surgery on the door that opens for practice.
Pop off the interior panel and see what thing's you'll need to avoid.
Then repeat the process on the stuck door.
Failing that, roll the car and collect on the insurance.
