Check the easy stuff first. Shifter assembly and cables.

Does the car drive normally otherwise?

I would suggest manually shifting into reverse at the tranny. That would at least rule out the shifter. Its possible you could accidently shift to fourth and not reverse. Do it manuslly or at least watch the trans shfter while somebody shifts it from inside to see where it actually goes. .
