I couldn't really tell you except to start over and due again. It has to be leaking somewhere there or you wouldn't have coolant. Maybe a bad heater core, or you got a screw in it.

But you pull the cover off the heater box and it's dry it makes no sense what so ever to me if it would be the heater core the inside of the box under the heater core would be wet right

You would think so. But there's know other place it could come from.
