Sure sounds like you need to check the complete electrical system. How old is the NOW dead battery? How much after-market equipment is in the car? It sounds like you might need to become familiar with "Parasitic draw"! Google that and educate yourself and then ask questions.

The procedure is quite simple but the "repair" sometimes isn't a very pleasant chore. Requires "patience"!!!

Look at the car at night (lights off) and see if you can find any light coming from the car. Maybe under the hood, the console, interior lights, sun visors.
