[1] In response to her murder, two charitable organizations have been formed, a memorial grant created in her name, and legislation passed in Texas to prevent teen dating violence.

[4] Jennifer Ann Crecente's body was found at night on February 16, 2006, in a wooded area in Austin.

[7] In the affidavit, which describes reasons for an arrest, Crabbe first told police that he and Crecente, who were dating, had had an argument earlier in the week while staying at a South Austin hotel.

The 2007 production is dedicated to Crecente because of her performance; in addition, the show includes a theme of dating violence.

Organizational goals for the two organizations sometimes converge but work as individual entities: Jennifer Ann's Group, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was created by Jennifer's father Drew in February 2006 in Crecente's memory to prevent teen dating violence.

The stated purpose of the organization is to "keep Jennifer Crecente's memory alive through education and good works."

[30] Jennifer Ann's Group provided testimony on February 8, 2007, to the legislature in support of this bill.

[31] Every school district in the state of Texas has to have a formal policy regarding Teen Dating Violence as a result of this legislation.

[32] On February 15, 2007, on the one-year anniversary of Crecente's murder, Senator Eliot Shapleigh entered a bill to grant posthumous diplomas to students who died during their senior year of high school.

[34] "Jennifer's Law" allows the family of any Texas student who died during their senior year of high school to request a posthumous diploma.

[35] A chatbot was created on AI companion platform Character.ai using Jennifer's name and photograph without the permission of her family.

[36][37] On October 2, 2024, Jennifer's father received a Google alert indicating that new content was found online using the name of his deceased daughter.

Please help us stop this sort of terrible practice.” A spokesperson for Character.AI confirmed that the AI character based on Jennifer was subsequently removed by the company.
