Why does the battery on the ford escape keep dying after replacing the battery and the alternator?

These electronically controlled units can have about a hundred things kill the battery including improperly installed or faulty stereo amps installed by others.
First:
Have both the battery and charging system checked again, I have seen bad out of the box alternators and batteries
Second:
Disconnect the battery and see if it goes dead anyway, the above test may not reveal this type failure
Third
you need a way to detect a "significant draw". All cars draw between .01 amps and .1 amps. Significant is thought to be .5 or larger. There are meters available to do this and I bet you have a Friend that has one.
Once you have proven and measured the draw start pulling fuses.
If you have removed all the fuses and the draw continues you have missed something.

Either the battery has a dead cell and needs replacing, or alternator is defective, loose or corroded battery cables, or something is draining the battery. Look for a courtesy, trunk, under hood, glove box light that is on. Also can be a defective brake light switch which causes the brake lights to stay on.

Sounds like the alternator is not charging the battery up / WORKING check charging system. Charge battery to 12.8 volts and then start engine and hook volt meter to battery and it should read 13.8 to 14.3 volts. If it don't then replace alternator. Also need to make sure the alternator belt is tight.
