The AP reports that the La Paz County Sheriff's Office doesn't plan on filing any charges.
The skeletons, named Bernie and Bernadette, could be staying on the bottom of the river. Authorities are saying the props don't pose any threats to lake-goers and that they could be used as a geocache, the AP story said.
The skeletons -- which were found tied to rocks sitting in lawn chairs -- were initially spotted by a snorkeler.
