Does the glove box light stay on? Probably not the issue if not opened recently, but if you put a cell phone in it with the video recorder on and close it, you can rule that issue out when you check the video it recorded.
My drain was the alternator. Only way that I know to rule it out is by disconnecting the exciter wire (small wire on the alternator) to see if the drain is gone. Don't run the engine with it disconnected, it will not charge. An alternator can develop a single bad diode without total failure and still put out current.
There are also some youtube videos on tracing battery drains.
Good luck.
