parking brake stuck

my 2004 Escape's parking brake was left on for a long time since the vehicle was not being driven. It is stuck. I tried the forward and reverse trick and did not work. suggestions would be great

Spray the actual brake on the wheel with brake cleaner, then spray everything liberally with PB Blaster or WD40 - from the pedal mechanism all the way back to the brake pad.

let it sit for at least a few hours

Just guessing, but I would imagine the shoes are rusted to the drum. You might try removing the wheel and whacking the drum with a hammer to shock the shoes loose.
