broken latch
you need to go through the back seat and pull trunk trim (unscrew it) then you can pop the latch from the back side
if you dont know how to do this you could take it to a shop

If i had to guess I think your lock cylinder rod has come loose from the cylinder. Crawl through the back seat and remove the trim panel and check it out.

Have you tried the inner release handle, like jrailer said climb through the trunk, there is a handle on the inner lid, I guess an emergency release if you get trapped...
