More than likely it is a bad ground wire. You can check the connections from battery to frame... I would drop a dollar or two on a new ground wire, clean the frame well, rough it up, and make a good connection. Most of the time a dead battery is caused by a faulty connection... usually the ground side.
If that doesn't fix it... take the battery out, turn it all the way around twice, set it back in, tap the top with a phillip's head screw driver [standard size will do], reconnect the battery, slam the hood, spit on it, curse, get in and put your head on the steering wheel, pray for forgiveness for being angry and cursing, ask the Lord for help, and turn the key.
If that don't work...then God don't care and that things got the devil in it.
