Check timing. How does it sound when it turns over? Normal cranking or a whirling noise? If the whirling noise, probably only the crank is turning and the belt snapped or teeth are missing. Good way to check this is to open the oil fill cap and watch for the camshaft to move while someone tries to start. If there's no movement, its the timing belt.
