I assume the child safety lock switch is what is missing, and it is just not in the locked position? Have you compared the door side to the other rear door to see the difference?

It sounds to me like the child lock is engaged. When the child lock is engaged, the door can only be opened from the outside regardless of whether the door itself is locked or not.

Here's a picture of the child lock (the black oval shaped piece toward the top of the picture). Both rear doors have one.

Up = disengaged
Down = engaged
