Hello-

My dads 1999 GS (75,000 miles) stopped running. I had been driving it for a year with no problems. Then it was garaged for a month or so. Tried to start and it wouldn't turn over. Figured battery was dead. Jumped it, got it running and drove on freeway for 30 minutes. As I was pulling it back into garage, the car died. Tried to restart, but it didn't even turn over. It was like the battery was completely dead still. No radio, no lights, etc. Could it be a bad battery, or is this the signs of something else?

Thanks.

Its quite evident the problem

take the car/battery in and have the battery tested.

If you put a jumper box/jumper cables and it starts. Its the battery.

Have battery tested and also have a volt test done while the car is running to see if its an alternator

If it dies while running and won't restart with dead electronics, it's probably the alternator. Once the engine is running, the battery doesn't do much but get charged. With a dead alternator, the car will run off of the battery until it depletes the charge. Never hurts to test the battery, though, as the battery could also be bad.
