What you really need is a multimeter ($25 at autoparts store) and check the battery drain yourself. Then you can verify what circuit is causing the drain by removing 1 fuse at a time and cheking the draw on the battery. That is the only way to do it.
You could make sure the trunk light is turned off by flipping the rear seat forward.

To get the battery to charge fully, remove the negative cable when you get home and hook up the trickle charger.
