Pontiac G6 no crank - no power to starter

A friend drove the car and couldn't get the keys out of the ignition. When I
got to it there was a penny stuck in the gear shift track not letting it go into
park. I removed the penny, put in park and the keys came out. 2 days later
tried to crank and nothing. Not turning over, seems no power to starter at all.
I checked all the fuses and relays in all 3 fuse boxes. Hooked up  jumper
cables even though I was sure it wasn't the battery. Thought maybe they
damaged the ignition somehow by jerking the keys out. I tried
reprogramming keys with the 10 min on method. I changed out the ignition
switch and no change. I changed out the actual ignition tumbler, no change. I
tore apart the console to see if they damaged anything and nothing. I
checked the shifter cable and it seems ok. Thought they may have broken or
damaged that too. I checked fuses and relays again. I ran a hot wire to
starter solenoid and it spins but won't crank. It seemed like something is
preventing the car from starting. I unhooked battery overnight to see if it is a
security thing. But there is no security light on. I am kinda baffled now. Help
or advice appreciated
