dead battery after overnight sit

i was wondering if anyone could help out with this one
my car a 93olds88
is stupid.
i dont know what is causing it
but when i park the car overnight
the battery is dead in the morning
i have a optima red cap its about 3 months old now
new alternator replaced yesterday
i have a cobra radar that shows voltage as the car sits it will lose .1volts every 5-10 minutes
when the car runs
its charging at average
12.8-13.1
according to the radar detector
i have tried the simple stuff
rip out the trunk light thinking the merc switch was bad
disconnected the power wire leading to the back of the trunk
STILL DEAD
sooooooooooooooooooo
tomorrow im going to test with electric tester i was told to disconnect -battery cable
and use the tester to connect ground from cable to terminal i was told that there should only be a reading of 0.2-0.4
if its any higher i need to pull fuses until i find the one the causing the draw
sooo
i was wondering if anyone has any ideas of where i should start tomorrow like what things should i check first

btw the voltage is @ 8.8 in the morning
