My friend had found this sitting by a dumpster, one handle is broken and I'm not sure what it's missing & I don't know how to lock it. so does this look broken to you?

That one most likely uses a gasket too and it is also missing. Without a gasket you got a 360 degree water spewer if you let it boil. Make sure you look up the model and try to find an online manual before you use it or you could get burned. All of that type I have seen have a gasket that goes on the inside of the lid.
Doc-T don't use gaskets, hehe, he gots one of them thare fancy schmancy deals made by them thar all american fellars probably.

There could be many things wrong with this PCer that we cant even see, in the pic in of the lid I only see one lock that looks right. It shouls have allot of locks on the lid that look like the one on the right in the first pic like this one, to match up with the latches on the pot. By your pic I can see that the hole for steam to escape to the weight is really rusty, and WTF is that a keyhole? lol
Chances are if someone threw it out and you cant get the lid to spin on, then you aren't placing the lid in the right position and you need to buy allot of parts maybe hard to find and they couldn't find a gasket and weight for it, OR, the latches are missing on lid, (can't see in photo)because the saftey valve failed and that sucker whent off like a bomb because the steam hole was plugged with rust.
IF, the latches are ok and they match up with how many latches are on the lid, put the close---> to the right of the broken handle on the pot and slide it to the left after you get it to push the latches on the lid down past the latches on the pot into place. If it stops where the handles line up then you might be able to buy all new seals, valves and other pieces for it?
I would recycle it and mow lawns or get a paper rout and get a new one if I were you. That looks like a previous or future explosion to me. Is it kinda rounded on the bottom? Do the latches on the lid all look the same or are some pointing slightly straighter up? If not you could rebuild the whole thing maybe but I would't recommend it.BOOM!!AHHHHH!
