I think I am going to try the slotted screwdriver / coat hanger approach my only concern those is that the actual locking mechanism is froze

If I could only supply 12V power somehow to the terminal under the hood or the starter than i could use the key fob to pop the other door locks and gain entry that way.

Definitely need a new carrier this one is toast. Already need to replace that window regulator again (surprise surprise) so at least I can kill 2 birds.
I thought you might have snapped that off. But hopefully you can see the other side of the break and grab that and pull out. Yes, if the actual latch mechanism is frozen or something deep in there is damaged, there may be nothing you can do to open that door without taking it apart from the inside.

Just in case you're able to get the 12V applied ...
Expect the alarm to go off as the battery charges up from zero
In case your key fob / remote system is not working, you should be able to unlock all doors by turning the door key full left (90 degrees from vertical)
