Battery?
Unless the car was started every two weeks or so or the battery was put on a charger regularly, chances are the battery is bad. Lead-acid batteries don't like to sit and will often self discharge to the point that they will no longer hold a charge.

could also be a bad alternator or voltage regulator. check these parts. and if all else fails do some test with a mechanic.
