Do you know anything about electricity?
 
Do you have a voltmeter and ampmeter?
 
Can you find the fuse box?
 
If you don't, take the car and pay someone.
 
Finding an intermittent electric drain is a tough job.

I had a similar problem. Finally corrected it by simply taking off the battery cables and cleaning the inside of the clamps and the posts. Apparently, even though everything "looked" clean, that was not the case. After I cleaned everything, I sprayed them with the purple sealer stuff especially designed for that use. Have not had a problem since. That was a year ago.
What may have caused my original problem was that instead of using the store-bought purple sealer, I used bearing grease to coat the outside of my terminals. I suspect that over time, the grease had invaded the area between the clamp and the terminal.
