If I talk to the mother or father it’s always "have you seen her" or they try to tell me the things she’s doing which I don’t care about. The aunt who I see once a year maybe on my way to work ask me the same question of seeing her outside in the neighborhood or inviting me to family functions knowing this is where she will be. I mean can’t these people see that for 3 years I haven’t said anything or seen this girl, she treated me like crap and used me and when she was finished she kicked me to the curb.

what are the circumstances that you run into this family all the time?
next time they bring it up say to them "that was a long time ago and there is no chance of a reconciliation can we not discuss it any more"

While your ex may not have been able to see it, her parents think you're a good person which is probably why they still talk to you. They bringing her up to you whenever possible to see what your reaction will be, to see if you still care about her at all. They may secretly want the 2 of you back together, or at least be friends. They thought you were good for their daughter, and probably have no clue how badly she treated you. I'm sure she told them a BS story about why you 2 broke up, and that's assuming she ever gave them a reason at all.Next time they bring her up, just change the subject. Hopefully it will get the point across.
