Doors won't open

I ordered some different door unlocking tools today so I'll try them out this afternoon. The slim jim I did have is made out of flimsy aluminum and is likely deflecting when i put pressure on it.

Yesterday, I got some 24" long cable zip ties and linked them together. I was able to get to the drivers side interior door handle and pulled it all the way to the open position, but the latch still would not release. I was also able to get the key to go into the tumbler on the drivers side yesterday and it will move the door lock rod up and down, but no success in getting it open. Does anyone have a picture of how the door lock rod attaches to the latch assembly itself? That would help me target where to put the door lock tool this afternoon.
