The photo of the car makes it look like a mid/late-90's Camry. My sister had one. The trunk release is mechanical and located on the floor near the driver's left foot. Another question to ask is . . . if the car was inoperable and in a "rough" neighborhood, wouldn't the doors have been locked to prevent vandalism, thus preventing access to the remote trunk release?

Yes, looks like a '95 Camry to my eye. I have an '01 Camry and there's a trunk release latch INSIDE the trunk. Not sure if the '95's had a similar release latch. Not sure when Toyota introduced this potentially life-saving latch.
